Sept. 27, 2010— AP



In a shocking development, Mr. J. Heselden, owner of the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway personal transporter, died Sunday morning in a Segway-related mishap just before the scheduled release of a study suggesting injuries related to the vehicles may be on the rise.


According to a witness report, Heselden, 62, apparently fell off a 30-foot cliff into a river while riding a Segway near his home in West Yorkshire, UK. Police found Heselden's body and a Segway personal transporter in the river. He was prounced dead at the scene and foul play is not suspected, West Yorkshire Police told reporters.

it would have been better if he was hit with a segway and died

[Naz18]

Ouch

[Stealinhome]

That sounds about right.

[Naz18]

Can't believe SBR sells such a dangerous item in the store.

He would have died no matter what vehicle he was driving. He fell off a 30 ft cliff.

Senior citizens shouldn't be driving.

cars arent as easy to lose control of as a segway..and I bet he was somewhere not accessible to cars.

You have to love the irony.

Then how come people always fall off cliffs driving cars? If the sign says there is a 90 degree turn on the road and you don't turn the wheel of your car you will end up at the bottom of the ravene.

[Cougar Bait]

That must have looked ridiculous.

[ProfaneReality]

do you think the irony of it all crossed his mind during his descent ?

[hugh_morris]

thats just shitty luck...what was he tryin' out a new model?....maybe the throttle was stuck...fukk..

[Cougar Bait]

At least it was an honorable death.

[Wrigley]

Its probably the way he would have wanted to check out

[G's pks]

wonder if it could have been the start of a new trend....suicide by segway!

[Irish Lumberjack]

Weird way to go

[StraitShooter]

damn I thought I had seen everything-this should make that 8 mill ways to die show on spike

[crafter]

I wonder if his second to last thought before he hit the bottom was.... "oh the irony!"

[keyboarding]

I'm sure it was a murder.
