World: U.K. Segway owner falls off a cliff; don’t make fun of him, jerks

  • Let’s face it. A lot of heartless bastards are gonna find this story funny. But let us not forget that there was a real person involved, and that real person had a very tragic accident yesterday. Jimi Heselden, the 62-year-old owner of the of Segway (he bought the company in December), was found dead after his scooter fell off a cliff. Yes, there’s irony here. Yes, you’ll probably hear an off-color joke or three about this incident. But it still doesn’t negate the fact that it’s an awful accident that we wouldn’t wish upon everyone. Poor guy. source
