I fail to see the humour in this story. Maybe I have a sense of humour by pass? :confused:

Yeah, lets all laugh at the death of a man that gave around £20m to charities. :rolleyes:

wonder how sales will be affected up or down ?

Sales may increase, a new extreme sport could have just been born.

Ahhh sorry guys he gave money to charity :rolleyes:

People die, some in hilarious and ironic circumstances. 50 people probably died whilst you were typing that message. Are you going to spend the time to cry for them? Or did they not give enough money to charity?

That would be my diagnosis.

Dying by riding a Segway off a cliff.

And note that "amazing" does not mean hilarious or cool.

Hard not to laugh really.

Hahaha.

I dont mean to come across all pompus but Its tragic that a man has lost his life even though those scooters do look ridiculous.

HE RODE A SEGWAY OFF A CLIFF.

A SEGWAY!

OFF A CLIFF!

Frankly, if you don't find that at the very least peculiar or just plain amusing, then there is most definitely something wrong with you.

Is it actually wrong that I found this story funny?

Nah It's wrong if like me you'd find it funnier if it was suicide... Laziest Suicide Ever!

Do you think he was dead before he hit the ground?

/runs quite fast indeed

No idea but at least he would have hit the ground upright and not face first.

A combination of the two.

You honestly don't find someone doing a Thelma & Louise on a Segway a little amusing?

the lack of respect in this thread is disgusting he was clearly a big donator to charities....

started his working life at 15 years old working in coalmine pitts and went on to become one of the richest people in britain.

a big acomplishment imo

the next time theres a RIP thread on here i hope everyone remembers this thread
