Had to post this found it completely Ironic.The owner of Segway you know the green personal transportation. Apparently he drove off a 30 foot cliff killing himself.


Anyone ever ride one of these? I just find them to look funny I am sure they are fun to ride on. I myself would never buy one at least in my current financial situation.

Edit:The man bought Segway not invented the thing. And apparently a nice guy. I still am also going to hell.

I've ridden on one. It's a complete mindfuck the first time you try to control it.

Also looks like this rich dude was a good guy - kinda sad but funny. He wasn't really "segway man" though, considering he didnt invent them - he just bought the company a year ago

It's pretty fucking sad. The man works hard to get a multimillion company, donates 20 m to charity, then ends up being laughed at by people on the internet.

Check out George Carlin on what can and is funny then come back.


I am not trying to pick on him or make his death less tragic, it was tragic, He seemed like an amazing guy. I guess its just too soon?

Wow that has got to be bad for business...

Segway's are already a pretty big joke as is. And the Brits are all about sarcasm and irony in their humor aren't they? I bet the late-night shows are gonna have a great time with this.

I listened to him speak [I was a WPI student] several times. The man is downright brilliant.

I don't really know anything about this guy. Sad story.
Tasteless jokes are tasteless.
