Ooopsies... Segway Boss-man-Owner drives off cliff testing new Segway...

[ximmy]

The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company died Sunday when he fell off a cliff while riding the famous motorized scooter, the Telegraph reports.

Jimi Heselden, 62, died after skidding off a cliff at his estate in Yorkshire, England. He was reportedly testing a cross-country version of the upright, two-wheeled scooter when he plunged from the cliff.

Heselden's body was later found in a river by a passerby, the newspaper reports.

"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 for the West Yorkshire police told the newspaper.

"A Segway-style vehicle was recovered. He was pronounced dead at the scene," the spokesman reportedly said. "At this time we do not believe the death to be suspicious."

What a dumbshit ;D

[Ponce]

And that's the end of the story for Segway :boohoo

[Ares]

Guess he didn't have the "NEW" and "IMPROVED" Segway thanks to Maddox.

[Hillbilly]

Sales are going to tank now LOL Maybe someone suicided him? I never liked those things anyway. I remember when they came out and Andy Dick crashed one on some TV show and everyone laughed, but I don't think they got the bigger statement He was trying to make on what a total Douche mode of Transportation these things are anyway.

link? onion?

I guess you could say he made his segue on a segway.

Some mistakes you only can make once. :o

I've always said the Segway was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Americans aren't fat and lazy enough?

I live with chronic pain and I WOULDN'T ride one of those things.

Walking is good for you!

[Glass]

crashes are always good. Still I always thought the segway was one of the stupidest ideas out there. A solution looking for a reason for being.

[zap]

When he got close to the cliff it didn't cross his mind to jump the other way or off?

I don't know why anyone would even ride one of those things right next to a cliff.
He gets the Darwin Award.

wasn't this the POS that a few yrs ago, that they said was going to change the world as we new it?

Sedway has to be the ultimate symbol of American laziness. I plan on capitalizing on this cultural trend. I am working on an invention that will take all the effort out of taking a crap. It will suck the feces out of you so you don't have to push or bear down or anything except relax your sphincter. The invention utilizes a large funnel connected to a negative pressure system and an anti-turd valve. I call the Turdomatic. I'm looking for venture capital to develop the first commerical version.

Hmmm........venture capital eh?............I think there is a venture capital firm called "Sh!tting Made Easy" that specializes in such inventions.

:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

You might send Ponce a PM about this. He's an inventer. You might be able to incorporate a Charmin wiping machine on the Turdomatic. ;)

Don't tell Ponce: he'll claim that he already invented it (the Turdomatic). ;D

Somehow, in a offshoot kinda way, this seemed remotely relevant.

For some reason, everytime I see a security guard on one of these, especialy at target and best buy, I want to run up to him and close line him off of it and run away.

How about a large screw inserted into the anal sphincter ala Icedrill? You could have a screw at the mouth end as well with a funnel to stuff down burgers, pizzas and cakes... A couple of horsepower of a diesel engine to run the screws at all time should be enough...

Lets call it ''the ultimate turdomatic''
