Your eyes are your best tool for safely avoiding obstacles and slippery surfaces.
Whenever riding, avoid abrupt maneuvers. Fast starts, fast stops, and fast turns are dangerous and can lead to loss of control, collisions, and falls.
With practice you can learn to ride over many different types of terrain, provided you avoid slippery surfaces, loose materials, steep slopes, and obstacles. Always proceed slowly over unfamiliar terrain. Lean uphill whenever one Wheel is higher than the other. Never allow the Segway HT to become airborne, even for short periods of time, because the Segway HT has no traction when airborne and you could lose control upon landing.
Even with its balancing ability, the Segway HT, just like a person, can slip, trip, and tip over. To reduce risk of injury,
you must avoid slips, trips, and tips.
