Abstract

A safety accessory for a tilting propulsion device or similar device is described. The safety accessory prevents the tilting propulsion device from pitching the user from the tilting propulsion device when mounting the tilting propulsion device. The accessory is attached to the tilting propulsion device and will come in contact with the ground if the tilting propulsion device pitches forward, stopping movement and allowing the user to regain his balance.
