Very sad that fellow died. Just a bizarre story. I’ve always thought the ‘Segway’ was a ridiculous idea; dangerous too.
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.
