    Segway is a terrible invention/design.

    A motor scooter is much safer, more reliable, faster and more comfortable, than standing on a self-balancing two wheeler.

    The worst thing about that guy's tragic demise is that he would have looked like a dork all the way down. He was probably listening to the Ting Tings on his iPhone 4 as well.

    Re: Segwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

    At first I read it as the inventor died from his own invention. But then I realised the person who died was the one who bought the company.

    So, so disappointing. Is it bad that I wanted someone killed this badly just for laughs? I know, I'll go to hell.

    He deserved it. I know kregg will go to hell because of what I said (as I don't believe in it), but I just had to say it.

    I don't believe in it either, but I didn't want to spoil the joke.

    Ah well. At least I won't have to pay for any heating bills

    Mr. Orwell, that is one neat machine. Would you by chance know what the cost to purchase one of those is? and where I might be able to buy one? I could probably just use that to go to work, even in 2ft of snow

    That military version is pretty good, you could get it to fetch beer from the fridge remotely.

    But on the brighter side, he probably died a green death. You know, instead of driving an automobile into the river, thereby polluting the river with the remaining fuel, oil, metal and plastic debris and so on...

    Ah, good point. But it would still be much less than the acid from a car battery.
