Owner of Segway dies...on a Segway
 
Segway owner dies after falling off river cliff - Yahoo! Finance

Quote:

All police found at the bottom of a cliff was a man's body in a frigid river and a Segway, the two-wheeled electric device that was supposed to revolutionize personal transport.
Always knew they were death traps. Hmm...can we ban them from the mall now??

Not to make light of a man's death. Sorry for the loss, the man clearly loved giving back to the community. I just find it ridiculous anybody still rides those damn things.

It does need alittle getting use to. I've been to one of delphi's suppliers almost a decade ago that made bits for the unit. We were racing those things in a large conference room. :D pretty fast at full speed. Can definitely cause serious injury if one fell off a cliff for no reason.
