Reminds me of the wealthy guy who bought the Segway business.
He was trying it out in his backyard...his house was built on a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean.
Nobody told him ride on a smooth surface only......that if one wheel left the ground, he’d lose control.....
On the rocky path behind his house, he did lose control and was ditched over the cliff headlong into the ocean.
His wife later went looking for him ....they found his body in the ocean.

James Heselden. The cliff was actually overlooking a river. He was riding his Segway and backed up to let a dog walker pass. Apparently he was riding in a difficult area but he may have been killed by politeness.
An article on him says that mourners at his funeral included American soldiers who said that his invention of a bomb-proof barrier (Hesco Bastion) saved their lives.
