The segway company owner and creator Jimi Segway dies from riding a segway off a cliff, I don't know how he did this since they are meant to be impossible to fall of but here is the article anyway

The segway gained the needed thinking abilities to kill the creator.

I always imagined that the person who invented segways looked like GOB. I'm extremely disappointed.

This is fail. I'm guessing it to be either extreme alcohol or committing suicide.

I find his death funny! Laziness kills, if he would have walked instead of riding a stupid device, he would have prolonged his life. Really stupid.Way back, i offered my grandmother, 80 years old, a wheelchair or a segway to help her move around, she answered: As long as i can stand up and walk, why should i put my ability to move on a machine.Why own one? i onced used this and i never thought of any use for it. You cannot use use it on open road, even on a bicycle path... instead of awe from lookers, laughter is what you get.

It's not so much laughter, but it's more like "What a pretentious douchebag".

Sounds like suicide.Prehaps...he saw a fault, but the company didn't want to stop, so he took his life to get attention and prehaps to stop it, like in I-robot

or maybe its an extreme publicity stunt to boost profit.
although I don't see why a dead man would want profit. hmm...

I doubt it. If he's too lazy to walk hes certainly too lazy to text.
