Default Segway CEO drives one off a cliff and dies...

Title pretty much sums it up.

I was just thinking of that exact quote.

It was the second thing I thought of when I heard this story. The first was "How do you have a fatal Segway accident?"

I was talking with friends as to how this may have happened.

We agreed that the most likely scenario is he drove up to the edge of a cliff and leaned over to look down... the rest is history.

Of course we will probably know the entire story.
