Segway Company Owner dies while riding Segway

Segway Owner Dies on Segway:NYTIn the “it’s just not possible, is it?” and “RUFKM” category comes today’s news that the owner of Segway, Inc., James Heselden, died Sunday after plunging into the River Wharfe  in the town of West Yorkshire London. 

62 years of age, Mr. Heselden was a very philanthropic man, donating over $36 million in his lifetime to a variety of charities, and has been listed as one of the 1,000 richest people in Britain.

What a tragic and nearly impossible end to a seemingly generous and smart man.
