Segway inventor plunges to his death on his own creation...oooops!

Hell of a last ride

The multi-millionaire owner of the company that makes Segway motorised scooters has died in a freak accident while riding one of his vehicles.

Jimi Heselden, 62, was found dead in a river after plunging 80 feet over a limestone cliff near his home.

He was riding a rugged country version of the two-wheeled Segway when tragedy struck.

He wasn't the Segway inventor and it's a repost.

He's not the inventor, he's just a guy with a lot of money that bought the company.

Condolences
