The millionaire owner of the UK Segway company has died after apparently riding one of his company's motorised scooters off cliffs and into a river.

Jimi Heselden, 62, crashed into the River Wharfe while riding the vehicle round his estate in Thorp Arch, Boston Spa, West Yorkshire, on Sunday.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. The scooter was found in the water.

Not a great advert for the Segway scooter, nasty way to go!

I wonder if it was suicide, but he couldn't be bothered to walk off the cliff.

I was riding on a segway on Friday!!

Off road too. Was quite a lot of fun.. I think he took "off road" a bit too far though

I bet that was a slow death... until he reached the edge anyway.

The article and thread are a bit too long to read tbh.

Has anyone got the cliff notes?
