They'll need to fix the Darwin Award logo to include a Segway.
Sad story, with inappropriate snickering.

We had a local police officer try out a Segway a few years ago. The force is pretty small because the town is small. A Segway would be pretty useless about half the year. The Segway turned out to be less than useless when the sargeant managed to separate from the Segway and injure himself. He lost a lot of time with an ankle and wrist injury. The ankle injury kept him off patrol. The wrist injury prevent him from writing tickets. Maybe the Segway IS worth something. I think we ought to give one to every one of the worthless members of our local police force from the (I kid you not) four-star wearing chief to the lowest ranking patrol office (who I believe is tenth in line for the chief’s job.
On land to over cliff. Not a good segway...
Live by the segway, die by the segway.

more irony than darwin like BD45 said
segway are supposed to be soft movers
They are out of their cotton-pickin' minds!!!
Those photos make me lose my breath. Whoa!!!!!
That guy can’t even bend over to tie his shoes, much less ‘protect’ anyone. Fat tub of lard needs to walk instead of being on a scooter. He looks like he drives a hoveround on his off-duty time.
“You might remember this post three years ago in which I laughed at a woman on a Segway pushing a baby stroller for being lazy. Well, I’m a giant asshole, and I want to apologize to Melissa Hofstetter. I’m sorry Melissa.”

Good thing they remembered their helmets, eh?
Good thing they’re wearing helmets, because otherwise, you know, someone might get hurt.
Is that “The worlds most dangerous trail” or something like that.
I saw a video of a guy walking it once.
Freaked me out just watching it.
I tend to avoid life threatning experiences myself.
Yeah...like that would....oh never mind. :-) I’m still weak from earlier when I looked at those photos!
I have no clue and can't remember where I saw those shots. Looks like fun, huh?
west coast Ireland...Cliffs of Moher...followed your photo links
Thats the video i was thinking about.
Crazy place!
Anybody wanna buy my Segway for a 100? My dear late grandmother rode it to church on Sundays for 20 years. (Price negotiable.)
