Back in the early days of the Segway, naysayers predicted a "Segway Slaughter" of pedestrians.
One particular group of attorneys were gleefuly rubbing their hands at the prospect of lucrative liability judgements. They started a website.
www.sue-it.com
I guess it never paid off. They let the website lapse into oblivion.
For history's sake, let's look at what www.sue-it.com looked like:

Here's some great quotes:
quote:
... there will likely be a rash of inebriated people leaving bars in the near future and hopping on Segways.New catch phrase: "Why drink and drive when you can drink and It?"
It" goes at speeds of 5-17 miles an hour. If people ride this jalopy on the street, they will be the bane of drivers everywhere.
the following Bio is put out by an organization started by Mr. Kamen.
This bio kisses and shines his butt, so enjoy the following PR piece:
ust as people can be attached to their hairstyle, shoes or a long-worn pair of glasses, DEKA would hope people start to identify themselves along with It.
No shot in hell.
Get ready to Sue-It!
