Guy who became a near billionaire by inventing easily shippable erosion barriers bought Segway. A year later he used it to walk his dog and backed off the side of a cliff and fell to his death after crashing into rocks along the water.

Yikes.

I hope he was a terrible person. Otherwise that'd be an awful way to die.

I hope the dog didn't like get yanked down by the leash.

Dog lived. And no, he was not a terrible person. Grew up poor as hell and used his severance he got after being laid off while working in mines to create the Hesco mesh used to stop flooding during Katrina. He died reversing to make way for another dog walker. Just extremely ironic
