Owner Of Segway Company Dies

The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company died in a freak accident yesterday when he rode one of the high-tech two-wheel machines off a cliff and into a river.

 

Former miner Jimi Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe while riding around his West Yorkshire estate in Boston Spa on a rugged country version of the Segway.

 

He bought the firm last December and was using one of the machines - which use gyroscopes to remain upright and are controlled by the direction in which the rider leans - to inspect the grounds of his property.

Is this irony? I think irony has been destroyed so I can't tell anymore.

 

no. this guy only bought the company last year. the inventor of the segway is alive and well and lives the next town over from me.

LOL , that's like Bill Gates dying from a computer virus.

 

 

Bill Gates doesn't develop or sell computer viruses.

 

Are you saying Segways are designed to drive people off cliffs?

not quite..

 

it would only be ironic if he died while doing something which purportedly the segway was designed to do well, or efficiently, or summat.
