Good taste question- is it ok...

Northwind

To laugh at the owner of the segway company being killed after riding one off a cliff?

Hope so.

Thinking about it made me chuckle. Don't s'pose there's footage?

Some of these jokes are going a bit over the edge.

I see the humour, but unfortunately sounds like a half decent guy.

Saw it on the news a bit earlier. Had to chuckle. Too ironic. It is a shame though, especially after only a year of prospering from the company.

That fills me with confidence......not, I'm off segaway rallying with my bro next month, are there many cliffs in Daventry?

I partook in an event that included Segway racing. I was amazed at how agile they are. Amazing pieces of kit, but illegal to use on either roads or sidewalks in the UK and quite costly too

Last year the company I work for had an indoor segway racetrack set up. Great fun and very nimble, I was surprised how easily you could skid them too.

I've always wanted a go on a segway. They do look like a lot of fun.
Obviously, extreme segway-ing is a no-no then.

We don't have any sidewalks in the UK, only pavements!

yea unbelievable that a millionaire would drive a segway (took me awhile to figure what it was as i had forgotten about it) of a cliff. anyone found the conspiracy theories yet? doubt it was a accident. should have got one of these
