I suppose these are very bottom-heavy, given their use, but I wouldn't have thought riding one would be that dangerous ? What happens when one does that ?
It's basically a skateboard with front wheels that can turn if you lean on the handle.
When my colleagues were playing, the car made an unexpected pretty sharp turn, which caused them to tumble off and fall on the concrete.
And yes, the wheels will also hang on small stones, small pieces of wood and what not. Which is fine, because it's made for moving pallets, not people.
The wheels will snag on the smallest of debris; then your instinct is to brace yourself against the handle, but it hinges away from you so you fall forward with nothing but the ground to stop you.
