Segway Owner Dies in Segway Accident

 Segway mogul Jimi Heselden, the 395th-richest man in Great Britian, died Sunday when he rode his Segway off a cliff. Heselden had been inspecting the property of his West Yorkshire estate on a "ruggedcountry version of the Segway" when he apparently lost control of the vehicle. Police said they found a body "in the River Wharfe, apparently having fallen from the cliffs above." A "Segway-style vehicle was recovered" nearby. Police say they don't suspect foul call, but they're investigating the machine to determine whether a mechanical or human error caused the crash.
