This is amazing. Discuss.

ETA: Owner, not creator. Still amazing. Still discuss.

I went on a Segway Tour of Nice. It was fun, but when I first got on I nearly fell over on the damn thing. Bloody hard to figure out how to stop properly, too. So I would probably go off a cliff too XD

true, those things are hard to ride, but he was the creator of the darn thing, shouldn't he know how to use it?!

saw this in the news today, pretty funny imo (even though the guy's dead, which is bad).

and to be fair, the topic title's a bit misleading. This wasn't the creator of the segway, it's the current owner of the company, who bought it from the guy who created them last year. So who says he knows anything about riding a segway? :P
