Heselden's Death

This story has gone from odd to just plain sad.

The owner of the Segway company, Jimi Heselden, died the other day when he and his machine plunged over a cliff in England.

I, and others, idly wondered how that had happened.

Now, it turns out he died because he was backing up on a bridle trail - to get out of somebody else's way.

If I ever ride a Segway up to the edge of a butte,
I'm bringing a parachute.
