Owner Of Segway Company Dies

  Quote

The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company died in a freak accident yesterday when he rode one of the high-tech two-wheel machines off a cliff and into a river.

 

Former miner Jimi Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe while riding around his West Yorkshire estate in Boston Spa on a rugged country version of the Segway.

 

He bought the firm last December and was using one of the machines - which use gyroscopes to remain upright and are controlled by the direction in which the rider leans - to inspect the grounds of his property.

Are you saying Segways are designed to drive people off cliffs?

not quite..

it would only be ironic if he died while doing something which purportedly the segway was designed to do well, or efficiently, or summat.

from his days causing a ruckus fighting in the kwik save with the shop mobility riders right to the end, pete townshend prophesied this.

for some reason i keep reading "sewage company"

"owner of sewage company dies while taking a shit".

He should have used tips from the master himself, Mr Gob Bluth...

suicide

This is like Steve Jobs being eaten by an apple.
