The helmets seem totally inadequate to me if you drop from treetop 
heights. ;-)

Inane developments. On foot, this would be interesting to see the forest 
around you; on a segway, you only are focussed on your machine not to 
drop off. How more stupid can you get?

Have you guys checked the date on your calendars?

Also, bad photoshop is bad.  The dude's segway tires aren't even lined 
up properly on the bridge.

I agree - you'd have to be a fool to even consider taking that tour.

I can forgive that and the shadows. But not the weight distribution on 
the man's bridge.

Aww you had to spoil it so early - I was planning on starting a 
multi-page flame-war about the health and safety of it :-)

That would have been hilarious. It is interesting to note how easily one 
can be fooled. Yesterday morning I had prepared myself to spot any 
foolery coming my way, and - tjack! - I fell into the first trap I met :-)

Hardly a joke. The Feegle has assured me that dragons and dinosaurs live
in the wooded areas of Battersea Park.
