RE: Segway...

What happens when you're barrelling along at 12mph and hit a decent positive
going edge (e.g. raised sidewalk tile), and the rider/control stalk tilt
forward aggressively...   the inertial compensation loop must be pretty good
otherwise the rider would be flung off backwards at a great rate of mph
(certainly greater than 12mph, as the compensation curve (spike) must occur
at several orders of magnitude to the actual forward ground speed)...

Any suggestions - or does it just give up and let you fall flat on your face
?
