Man, what a bizzare story. This must hit pretty close to home for Peter Laird.

Personally, I've always thought those things looked dangerous.

Newsflash, Just about anything is dangerous if you're riding it off of a cliff.

Well I'm a huge fan of the toilet but I didn't cry when the inventor of that died.

The difference is that you don't ride around on your toilet. If you do could you tell me where to get one of those?
Yeah I always thought segways were lame as hell. What the hell was the dude doing by a cliff anyway? But props for making billions. May he rest in peace.

This isn't even the guy that invented it. It says right there that he bought the company 10 months ago.

He should've known better than to drive it off a cliff. Sucks that he died though.

Why would anyone ride those on cliffs or high mountain ranges anyway?

After seeing the stunts performed on Paul Blart Mall Cop, I figured we'd eventually see an accident big enough to hit the news.
