I am going to hell for laughing at this
 

A British businessman who bought the Segway company less than a year ago died after riding one of the scooters off a cliff and into a river near his Yorkshire estate.

Jim Heselden acquired the Segway company from its U.S. inventor Dean Kamen in December 2009.

According to the British media, Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe while riding a rugged country version of the two-wheeled transporter on Sunday.

Police said a witness had reported seeing a man fall over a 30-foot drop into the river near Boston Spa, 140 miles north of London.

"Police were called at 11.40 a.m. yesterday to reports of a man in the River Wharfe, apparently having fallen from the cliffs above," a spokesman told The Daily Mail.

A Segway was recovered from the scene. "At this time we do not believe the death to be suspicious," the spokesman added.

The battery-powered scooter is stabilized by gyroscopes.

Gives new meaning to driving an investment/company into the ground, lol. Waiting for the video of this...something tells me it won't be quite as elegant looking as the ET bike scene.

Ticket to hell please.

This is very true. And my abuse of marine wildlife, taking candy from babies and turning off the heat of old age pensioners in the winter.

But until then, I still live, so here is a minute and half of Segway crashes.

irony = funny

If there was one......

...so no, you can relax.
