There's mishaps and then there's THIS

The owner of the company that makes Segways died over the weekend. In a 'segway related mishap.' After reading the full story, the 'mishap' was in fact "falling off a 30 foot cliff into a river on his Segway."

Yet another reason I don't think Segways will ever catch on.
