Like many of today's cars, not even the Segway Personal Transporter
is immune from its own set of problems that lead to recalls. The
company announced in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission a voluntary recall to upgrade the software in the units to
prevent users from falling off in certain circumstances.
Although
the company has highlighted that it is nearly impossible to fall off
the Segway, it has been documented. Shortly after its launch, President
Bush took a tumble off a Segway while testing out the unit, raising
questions as to its safety. However, Segway clarified to BetaNews that
the President had forgotten to turn on the transporter before
attempting to use it.
