Another set back for the Segway?

When George Bush fell off his Segway in 2003, it seemed a kind of metaphor for the product. But now comes even worse news.  According to the New York Times website, Segway owner accidentally drove a Segway off a cliff in West Yorkshire.

When introduced, the Segway was claimed as a brilliantly designed product and supporters envisaged that mass use would return to us streets and public spaces that have been dominated by the automobile for almost a century.
