Segway owner dies on Segway
 

LONDON – A British businessman who last year bought the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway personal transporter has died in an accident on one of the vehicles.
Police in West Yorkshire said Monday that 62-year-old James Heselden and a Segway were found in the River Wharfe near Boston Spa, in northern England.
Police said a member of the public had reported seeing a man fall over a 30-foot (9-meter) drop into the river on Sunday.
Heselden bought control of the New Hampshire-based Segway company in December.
He made a fortune through his firm Hesco Bastion which developed a system replacing sand bags to protect troops.

I guess Bush didn't do so bad when he fell off of one a few years ago.

Maybe he was trying to test a new underwater feature?? :iono:

Wife and I took a Segway tour of the West end of Bermuda on a cruise two years back. Lady on one all of a sudden took off straight at a parked car........was not pretty :facepalm:, she broke her nose, arm, and three or four fingers. All the people on the tour were yelling out "jump, jump" as she ploughed into the side of that car. :yikes:

And the Darwin award goes to....
 

Horrible when doors lock like that on you and you can't get out.... :(

oh....wait...:facepalm:

(for real, how hard is it to jump? I mean...choice of bumps and bruises or death?? Really?)

Don't drink and ....? Be Lazy?

This may help my buddy and all those others who are suing the company for the unsafe topple prone segways.

I have ridden and even raced them once. They are lots of fun until the computer locks up and you fall. I wonder if they use a Microsoft OS.

:laughabove:

he fell off a cliff... maybe he didn't see the edge?
