I'm sure I could find videos of people falling off of snowboards and bikes too, so I don't find accident compilations particularly compelling. Especially since I can tell you in pretty much every instance exactly what they did wrong.

Generally speaking if you don't have a background in boardsports it's probably safest to avoid powered boards altogether, no matter how many wheels they have.

Certainly, I can find people walking and falling down too. Heck, drinking water can be dangerous if you do it enough.

The point, which you're glossing over, is that this is a new company, there is only one of them and they have some seriously dangerous and well documented issues with their product, beyond just using it.

Just like the OP's comment that I'm responding to.
