I dunno, I saw the crew on Good Morning America riding them today and they looked pretty easy to master. Diane Sawyer put her foot out and allowed the inventor to ride over her foot and she didn't so much as blink.

But we have no idea what went on before the cameras were turned on (remember NBC's squibs that "proved" some truck had problem with side impacts). Also getting ones foot run over doesn't mean too much, I had mine runover by a Chevy Impala once, given how air filled wheels work very little of the ton plus of the car's weight went onto my foot and what did compressed it pretty evenly which really doesn't do much damage (try the old egg squeeze test), it stung for a couple minutes. Notice they didn't have anybody stand in front of one going full tilt, the human body going 12 MPH is a lot of impact force.

I also notice the shipping price has gone up dramatically. Last year when they "broke" it was only supposed to be 3Gs, now they're 5Gs, 9 for the "full featured" one.
