	Mentioning this in the comments to let someone knowledgeable make an edit and confirm my understanding of segways, but I believe the explanation of the title text is incorrect. I see three logical possibilities, none being the one mentioned in the explanation. The first two possibilities are related: either directly after dropping in, or at a point presumably closer to the bottom of the ramp, the segway isn't able to accelerate fast enough to keep up with its acceleration due to gravity, causing it to fall forward and crash. The third possibility, assuming neither of the more likely scenarios occurred, is that while traveling up the other side of the half pipe, the segway leans back too far and slows the wheels, slamming the rider into the wall in front of him/her. While I am by no means a segway expert, these explanations on why dropping a segway into a half-pipe are more in line with how a segway is expected to function than the current explanation. Added the incomplete tag to the page to promote discussion.

		+	Hello! This is my first edit on explain xkcd. I don't believe the title text explanation requires changing so I'm removing the incomplete tag (feel free to add it back if you don't agree)

	Fact: In at least one Tony Hawk game, you can actually ride a supercharged segway. Dropping into a halfpipe ends much less messily because on the segway there is literally no way to crash.
