Look at this ludicrous claim from their web site:

Emergency Services

"In densely populated areas, Segway HT will help police and emergency medical technicians respond more rapidly to accidents and emergencies, allowing them to be on the scene giving aid instead of stuck in traffic. In addition, Segway HT will make law enforcement officers more approachable than they are from behind a closed car window, atop a horse, or even a bike, bringing them closer to the communities they serve."

Where will a police officer carry his tools for working an accident scene riot control?

Don't they have any idea of the sheer volume & weight of equipment needed for an EMT to do their job? Where they intend the patient be hauled?
