    What was really weird was one of the articles on it was like "Are Segways safe?"

    Well I can guarantee you driving it off of a cliff isn't. In fact, I would have to guess that most vehicles aren't safe when driven off of a cliff.

    Hmmm....worth over $250 mil?

    Someone in the will probably pushed him and tossed the segway after him.

    I mean, you'd have to be an utter moron to accidentally ride over a cliff on something with a top speed of 12 miles an hour.
