The Segway doesn’t seem that safe and fun to ride around anymore, all thanks to this sad news. UK businessman Jimi Heselden, the man who believed in the Segway so much that he went ahead and bought the company, has died after reportedly driving that particular product itself off a cliff and into a river. He was found early on Sunday morning in the River Wharfe, having earlier been touring his estate in the personal transporter. The cause of the accident is not yet known. Mr. Heselden was 62 years old and generated his fortune by coming up with an innovative design for wire cage walls that has since become standard equipment for NATO, American, and British forces. Rest in peace Mr Heselden, and bless his family. Justin Bieber would be very sad that you’re gone.
