    Segway, Inc. owner dies on his own product

    I wonder if the family will sue

    Multi-millionaire Jimi Heselden, the owner of Segway Inc. since December 2009, has died after reportedly driving a Segway scooter off a cliff and into a river.

                      I thought that would be an Onion article for sure. I am going to hell because I laughed.

                                  This seems like the kind of "accidental death" that could have been arranged.
                                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                                      this sounds like the plot of a remake of strange brew

                                              In reading this, I immediately thought of the final scene in Quadrophenia, with Jimmy riding Sting's Vespa over the cliffs at Beachy Head. British people need to be more careful when riding in these dangerous areas.

                                                  The problem is that the Segway exceeded its stated 12MPH limit.

                                                      How does one die falling off a cliff into a river? One would think you could just let go or something. Sounds odd to me. Was he strapped to the machine??
