Maybe initially, but like any skill, practice makes perfect. Considering the distances traveled and loads carried (up to 6 people!), I would guess the average Chinese wheelbarrower learns rather quickly how to not drop goods/people. It would be interesting to know how often accidents happen with the Chinese vs the European versions though. My experience says that European/US wheelbarrows are just as, if not more easily tipped when fully loaded. I've seen it happen often enough and I've had it happen to me. Regarding maximum load, the article states: > In other words, when the load is 100 kg, the operator of a European wheelbarrow carries a load of 50 kg while the operator of a Chinese wheelbarrow carries nothing. He (or she) only has to push or pull, and steer.
