Crowds are actually what segways are best at. You can easily control your speed and turn in place. There is a reason mall cops use them rather then bikes.

I thought it was because they were too obese to walk from one end of the mall to the other.

I read that some airports use them because seeing police running could cause people to panic in an emergency. Not so with helmet-wearing cops on segways.
