Jimi Heselden was riding a rugged country version of the Segway, like this X2 Adventure model
Jimi Heselden, the owner of the Segway company, has died after riding one of the two-wheeled machines off a cliff and into a river.

Picture above is the version he was riding on the grounds of his North Yorkshire estate.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said today: "Police were called at 11.40am yesterday to reports of a man in the River Wharfe, apparently having fallen from the cliffs above.

Bizarre end to a man last year ranked 395th on the Sunday Times Rich List.
