The guy who invented Jogging died heart attack while Jogging and many many more since.
Not very safe or secure, not very user-friendly and very limited in usage when it comes to escalators, stairs, uneven surfaces.
Segway's usage is very limited, only to white collar yuppies who are pretty much the only ones who can afford it and are too lazy or too much in a hurry to walk inside huge office buildings with 100% smooth walking surface. Once you are outside, it's not very safe or secure and you are vulnerable to weather elements and it's a pain to use on public transit (would've been lot more useful if they included stair-climbing capabilities when being carried around stairs).
Limited usage + expensive = very limited market ---> Dropping out of favour. Surprised the product lasted this long.
