Segway company owner James 'Jimi' Heselden dies in England after riding a Segway off cliff. Jimi Heselden, chairman of Hesco Bastion, which bought the Segway company last year, died in a freak accident during which he rode a Segway off a cliff. The British businessman who owns the Segway company plunged to his death after driving one of his famous two-wheeled scooters off a cliff, police said Monday.
He was 24 years old. The cause of the accident was never established- it was initially put down to black ice on the road, though some people suspected that the bus driver may have been drunk. Cliff Burton's body was flown back to the USA, and he was buried in San Francisco. He died on 27th September 1986- he was killed when Metallica's tour bus crashed during the second leg of their <i>Damage Inc.</i> tour in Southern Sweden. They were travelling through Sweden's Ljungby Municipality near the town of Dorap, when the bus skidded late at night and ended up on it's side on a grass verge.
