I was just coming to the forum with the intent of posting this same dark news.

Apparently he Segwayed off a cliff. I don't know what to make of it. You'd think that when got with, oh I dunno, 10 feet of the precipice he would Segway away. But I guess this guy liked to Segway on the edge.

Muddy you should write for The Onion.

 

[Cougar Bait]

That must have looked ridiculous.

had to be suicide... why wouldn't he jump off before hand? maybe I should read the article

 

[Matty]

That must have looked ridiculous.

 

[Archie]

his wife or kids had him killed or he committed suicide.... how can they be so sure there was no foul play?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

You can't even make up stories like this. Seriously.

What's next? The owner of Purina chokes on a milkbone?

 

[Mudcat]

That must have looked ridiculous.

This is so true.

I don't mean to be horrible. This was a real person and a real tragedy.

But I just keep picturing it and cracking up.

Mr. Segway kills the Segway by being killed by a Segway.


Shiiit.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I wonder if they have cliffs in Heaven...

Are there any statements from his relatives? "It's how he would have wanted to go"

Cars have airbags. Segways should have parachutes. This accident was preventable.

At least it was an honorable death.
