Owner of Segway dies... in a Segway Accident.
 
Oh, irony.

Quote:
A wealthy British businessman who owns the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway has been found dead in a river in northern England after apparently falling off a cliff on one of the vehicles, police said Monday.

The body of 62-year-old James Heselden and a Segway personal transporter were found in the River Wharfe and he was pronounced dead at the scene, West Yorkshire Police said.

suicide?

He was 62... Probably had a stroke or something of the sort.

I was watching pawn stars a couple weeks back and a guy solid his original one cause he wanted to upgrade to the new "off road" model. I guess they need to go back to the drawing board.
