As this is a Morgan forum with a higher than average number of 3 wheeler owners hanging out here .... has anyone else experienced their M3W falling over at 22 mph ?... or is this something that is confined to the antics of attention seeking TV presenters (if, in fact, that is the truth of the matter in the first place)?

One only has to look at the Top Gear turning over onto their side of 3 wheeler Reliant, where TG used to turn on a steep camber of a downward slope to create a falling over. Something I never experienced in my driving of the 3 wheeler or seen previous reports on with regard to their handling. In fact, the worst feature of a 3 wheeler Reliant was driving in snow ruts when the steering front wheel was still running in snow and the driven wheels on cleared tarmac tyre ruts, making steering changes difficult..
We have seen journalists who performed the Elk/Moose manoeuvre changing direction quickly and violently to overturn eg the Mercedes Smart and A class cars that lead to their withdrawal and introduction of further stability programmes and features to combat it
Therefore of course most vehicles will overturn if you create a situation/environment to bring it into effect. If that is the case in this case, then I surprised that whilst helmets may not be TV photogenic, why one wasn't being worn and therefore no H&S issues arose.
