Government Announces Segway Recall

Need we say more?. Actually, it's a just a little problem with injuries being caused by the Segway falling over when the battery is low.

why is this segway's fault when there is a low battery meter already?

If a low battery meter is sufficient, why did they offer a software patch?

More seriously, I think the Segway is a neat toy with limited applications. I had a negative reaction to all of the hype surrounding it. I suppose my snide remark is a reaction to that.
