Very cool.
-
Yeah as if riding on a stock Segway wasn't douchey enough...
-
Whats the price of a segway these days?
-
In the UK they start at about £5000.
Don't know how safe they are as the boss of Segway went over a cliff on his and died (not a great advert)

Is that a farce? It has to be. It's too funny if it isn't.

Definitely true.
But not too funny.

Maybe it's mean but that's right up there with a guy inventing the catapult and getting flung over a building.

It is quite sad as he gave up a lot of his money to charities and such.
but I do like this quote from http://www.shuttervoice.com/14480/police-segway-owner%E2%80%99s-death-is-not-suspicious.html (http://www.shuttervoice.com/14480/police-segway-owner%E2%80%99s-death-is-not-suspicious.html)
"...they are not yet legal in streets [in Britain]. Moreover, the death of the owner will only delay the legality of using the vehicle."

A £10m gift to the foundation earlier this month saw his lifetime charitable donations top £23m.
So the man who invented the Segway riding on his own property accidentally goes off a cliff a month after he makes a donation that's almost half of his lifetime total in charities.
...interesting.

He didn't invent it, he bought the Segway company

Could have been worse.
Imagine having to live through the embarrassment of merely wiping out.

Its nice seeing girl nerds.
I think I will post that video on facebook.

Looks like vacation rentals. Around here in some places you can rent Segways for the day and ride around on them drinking like a maniac. Not a nerd thing so much as a way to get out of waiting for taxis and not have to drive.

That was a brutal wipeout. She was starting to get radical on it, though. And then she did that 'I'm a little kid, I'm gonna look behind me' sort of thing.....

No matter how you pimp it, Segways are ghey.
