We give tail estimates for the space complexity of randomized
incremental algorithms for line segment intersection in the plane.
For $n$ the number of segments, $m$ is the number of intersections,
and $m\geq n \ln n \ln(3) n$, there is a constant $c$ such that
the probability that the total space cost exceeds $c$ times the
expected space cost is $e^{-\Omega(m/(n\ln n)}$.
