In college I took a nosedive off some steps by accident. Miraculously, I landed on the foot plates and, "balanced" in that position until help arrived. Looking back I guess that was technically my first experience in "balanced mode"... :-). Hope you heal quickly.<br /><br />ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350520886486749739.post-23607335860140015022009-05-12T14:57:00.000-07:002009-05-12T14:57:00.000-07:00Yes, I have heard from other iBOT owners that this...Yes, I have heard from other iBOT owners that this sort of thing can happen. I glanced through my manual the other day and didn't see any warnings, but I don't know, there could be something in there as I didn't read the entire thing.<br /><br />Now I know, and I won't be doing that again!<br /><br />Regarding the PUMA.... I think it looks like a lot of fun to drive it, but I don't really know about it being modifiied to become a wheelchair. It's awfully large. Also, my favorite part about the iBOT is that it makes me taller, and the PUMA doesn't have that function. It's cool though, and I hope it succeeds!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464489197254480767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350520886486749739.post-8190744883500726372009-05-09T20:38:00.000-07:002009-05-09T20:38:00.000-07:00Glad you are healing well.

I wonder if there is an IBOT owners forum where you can exchange notes with other owners?<br /><br />By the way, check out our blog for a new product from Segway which, if adapted could be something similar to the IBOT. It is a vehicle which rides on two wheels. Looks very futuristic. I wonder about your thoughts on it.RehaDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795560785114983510noreply@blogger.com
