<p>Sadly ironic, yes. Funny, no. Sorry to be the nay-sayer, but I don’t find humor in anyone’s death.</p>
<p>I agree, jym.</p>
<p>Well I still think it is funny- but then I am not a stockholder.
I only hope I die doing something I love.

<p>interestingly enough, we have done numerous segway tours in a number of cities…eveyone one of them has a mandatory instruction class that advises to stay away from steep drops; curbs etc…and there are specific instructions on how to “get off” the Segway in an emergency…</p>
<p>wonder if he possibly had a medical emergency that prevented him from taking evasive measures before approaching the cliff?</p>
<p>Who the hell rides a Segway in the woods? I have to wonder if it was a suicide. Or that he had a heart attack whilst riding, causing him to slump forward, and the Segway just kept going forward in response.</p>
<p>Edit: Okay, the article says it was a special, rough-terrain Segway. Who knew?</p>

<p>Good article!^^^^It mentions several famous people who taken tumbles. Our family got the little 10 minute lesson, which turned into 15 minutes, thanks to me. It was much more difficult than I had anticipated. They are fun, but they aren’t easy to drive.</p>
<p>I was just thinking of buying one yesterday. I’m glad I read this thread before I had enough time to do it.</p>
