LONDON (AP) — A wealthy British businessman who owns the company that makes the two-wheeled Segway has been found dead in a river in northern England after apparently falling off a cliff on one of the vehicles, police said Monday.
The body of 62-year-old James Heselden and a Segway personal transporter were found in the River Wharfe and he was prounced dead at the scene, West Yorkshire Police said.
Police said a witness had reported seeing a man fall Sunday over a 30-foot (9-meter) drop into the river near Boston Spa, 140 miles (225 kilometers) north of London.
"The incident is not believed to be suspicious," police said, indicating that they do not believe anyone else was involved.
Dumbass shouldn't be riding a segway on a cliff rolleyes.gif
Those machines are used at Disney World, can even take a tour using them.
When I saw this news, It sounded so sad. And I wonder if it was just an accident or foul play?
Common sense would be not to ride that thing there but who knows? rolleyes.gif
