One would think Jimi Heselden, the creator of the Segway Personal Transporter, would have known how to pilot his own vehicle to avoid such a development. Apparently not.
According to The Associated Press:
A witness had reported seeing a man fall Sunday over a 30-foot (9-meter) drop into the river near the village of Boston Spa, 140 miles (225 kilometers) north of London.
There's not much information on how this happened, and reportedly there's a lot of lack of information on how to drive the Segway and a number of YouTube videos showing people falling off of it:
Meanwhile, RIP Jimi Heselden.
It was sad to hear that. He was a philanthropist and as someone who has gained from his efforts, I was sad to hear that he died in that accident.
