How on earth can you drive your segway off a cliff???
And a cliff on your own estate no less!! It's not like your shirt sleeve gets wrapped around the doorhandle or something.

From the pictures I've seen it was more of a grassy bank! There aren't too many cliffs around Boston Spa. Originally Posted by Storm

The Segway is a neat toy but hardly worth the fuss made about it...except as a piece of technology...
Personally, I felt sea sick on one when I tried it...."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

Jimi Heselden was brought up on Halton Moor estate in Leeds,and never forgot his roots.He gave millions away to good causes,and was one of the biggest advertisers at the Leeds United ground with his banners on each stand.
A very GOOD guy who gave millions away R.I.P. Jimi you will be sadly missed

I used to sit with him at auctions sometimes but never knew much about his wealth. Nice man. He may have enjoyed a few giggles over his rather strange end, but I'm sure his family aren't.
