Maybe he should have read the shorter Cliff’s Notes version of the operators manual...

Should have walked.
These contraptions are the most ridiculous things ever.
They aren’t even fun like a motorcycle. Basically they are for lazy people.

I’d call this more than weird:
“... 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.” [snip]

This is a shame. He sounds like an colorful man, a virtuous man and an achiever. If I could accomplish 1/10th as much in my 60s I would die content.
To: Red Badger
Nota Bene:
The man who perished was not the inventor of the Segway. That's Dean Kamen.

I want to know where wifey was at the time. Check the sequeway for her prints. I’ve always said the best way to kill your spouse is to push them off a cliff.
