Segway scooter owner dies tragically

[noknobs]

I know I shouldn't laugh but...

Reports are still coming in, but it appears the fatal accident involved a Segway scooter being driven off a cliff at the owner’s British estate.

pretty crazy, they've been doing more marketing recently at bloomingdales and other stores.

What was really weird was one of the articles on it was like "Are Segways safe?"

Well I can guarantee you driving it off of a cliff isn't. In fact, I would have to guess that most vehicles aren't safe when driven off of a cliff.

I feel terrible saying I laughed as well. Is there any chance he was testing the new "walk on water" Segway and it's still in need of a little R&D?

Do they have footage of one of those running over a land mine?

He looks like someone who might have a heart attack. Just saying.

 

[MARIS61]

Hmmm....worth over $250 mil?

Someone in the will probably pushed him and tossed the segway after him.

I mean, you'd have to be an utter moron to accidentally ride over a cliff on something with a top speed of 12 miles an hour.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is.

Or the Flubbermobile.

 

[MARIS61]

I'd take either of those over a Segway.

I was hoping to die spectacularly.
