Sounds more like an apparent Segway Suicide. Maybe he found out that there is no market for his product.

For a minute there I was thinking, "Dean Kamen is dead?!" but no, it's just the person who commercialized his invention.

He bought the company only a few months ago. A little suspicious I think.

I find it highly ironic. So they DO have faults. Also, have you run across his woods in Google earth? Doesn't appear that steep.

The south bank looks a little steep. And I noticed a couple of waterfalls on that river.

from what I've briefly read, there have been reports of Segways abruptly changing direction on a user, usually when a battery is low or under stress. I'm presuming this may have happened while he was on the uneven terrain, and it may have pitched him down the cliff.

Either that or it was corporate espionage in the highest degree! :p
