Subject: James Heselden, Owner of Segway Company, Segues off a Cliff

In a cruel case of either irony or coincidence, British entrepreneur/philanthropist James Heselden passed away today.  Apparently he was piloting his Seqway machine when it took him off a 30-foot cliff and into a river in Northern England.  :\'(

Truth be told, this wasn't so much irony as an experiment gone bad. Seems he was probably testing a new off-road model Segway, and apparently it worked a little too well. Our thoughts are with his family tonight.

Your Pal,

I must admit it's hard not to chuckle.

Heselden sounds like a decent guy, so it's very sad.

Some segue.  Way too early for jokes about it.
