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. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-death-by-segway-20100928,0,3655171.story Edit:The man bought Segway not invented the thing. And apparently a nice guy. I still am also going to hell. | ||

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 | ||

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? | ||

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. + Show Spoiler + | ||

That's interesting. You're rolling on the floor, while the segway guy was rolling off the floor. | ||

Tasteless jokes are tasteless. Hi fellow WPI student. The thing with the segway is, it's pretty much the stupidest thing Kamen has done. He's saved lives with brilliant inventions like the insulin pump, but a wheely scooter that was supposed to change the world is a giant overpriced way to skip out on walking somewhere. I maintain that this is just a cover up after the new flying segway prototype failed. | ||
