"A millionaire businessman who fell from a cliff while riding his Segway scooter probably died after trying to make way for a dog walker, an inquest has heard."

This guy and his company has done a lot of good.
Hats off!

"Segway boss leaves £340m to his wife and family"

"Mr Heselden, who founded Leeds-based company Hesco Bastion, acquired the Segway operation in December 2009."

"Mr Heselden made his fortune when his Leeds-based firm, Hesco Bastion, developed the "blast wall" basket, which protects soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, as a replacement for traditional sandbags."

A big loss for the local community.
