Bush’s fault!
Wasn’t he wearing that gay little helmet?
Famous last words - Where the h*ll is the brake pedal? Aaaah!
“Live by the Segway, die by the Segway”.
looks like my dads old lawn mower. Yet, if it was a lawn mower you wouldn’t see that kid closer than a country mile. lol
Would it be unkind to nominate him for a Darwin Award?
ROTFL!!! I suppose I should feel some kind of compassion, but, to paraphrase Sheridan, the only good leftist is a self-immolating leftist...

I have looked into the x2 Golf model. It is the off-road x2 unit with a rack for your golf bag. Two of these units cost slightly less than a EZ-Go electric golf car.
I use to drive those things off a flight of stairs and jumped it 3 feet down, off a porch several times.
Even showed my Dad how to ride them in 5 minutes flat. That’s saying a lot considering his coordination but he could ride it just fine and even took down a hill and back up. I showed him how good these things were and didn’t think he would actually do it but, he did.
You can’t fall over on these things.
Didn’t that guy know where the end was? Maybe that’s a rhetorical question.
Watch that last step - it’s a doozie!
First of all this is sad for him and his family.
Secondly, I wonder if the leftists in this country are criticizing him as much as they did Bush when Bush crashed his and got scraped up.
Don't asume he's a liberal simply because he owned Segway.
Jimi Heselden, 62, was Chairman of Hesco Bastion Ltd, the world-leading manufacturer of protective barriers used to protect British and coalition troops around the world.
And from here:
This is the HESCO Bastion, originally designed as a temporary or semi-permanent flood control structure. They were used to reinforce levees after Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, during the extensive flooding in the Midwest, 27,000 feet of HESCO barriers were shipped to Iowa and enplaced. Today they are used on almost every US and NATO base in Iraq and Afghanistan. They area made up of a collapsible wire mesh "wall" with a thick synthetic fabric liner. The name comes from the British company that invented them more than 10 years ago. The real name of the product is the "Concertainer" playing on the classic concertina wire barrier. HESCO is actually the name of the company that produces it. In general use, they are often simply called Hescos.
But of course he was really just a stupid liberal who deserves a Darwin Award.
Has anyone posting to this thread accomplished half as much as this guy did?
I'm starting to understand why jveritas left.
Mr. Heselden was a wonderful man and people who would make light of his passing need to grow up.
RIP.
