I always like an ironic death.

Jimi Heselden - Wikipedia

James William "Jimi" Heselden^[2][3]OBE (27 March 1948 – 26 September 2010)^[4][5] was a British entrepreneur. A former coal miner, Heselden became wealthy by manufacturing the Hesco bastion barrier system. In 2010, he bought Segway Inc., maker of the Segway personal transport system.^[6] Heselden died in 2010 from injuries apparently sustained falling from a cliff while riding his own product. His estate, bequeathed to his widow and family, was worth over £340 million and he was ranked in the top 400 members of the Sunday Times Rich List.^[6][1]t
Death[edit]

On the morning of 26 September 2010, Heselden was killed when he fell from a cliff footpath into the River Wharfe, at the village of Thorp Arch near Boston Spa; a Segway vehicle was found near him. The West Yorkshire Coroner concluded that Heselden had died accidentally, and that he had probably "got into difficulty" when he reversed his vehicle to allow a man walking his dog to pass.^[6][10][1

Crashes so high profile that they're not covered until the end of the article, which states the reason for stopping production is actually because it's not really a profit earner.

Roller skates I guess.

I used to visit a Carrefour on the outskirts of Alicante that was so huge that the staff wore skates to zip up and down the aisles.

That's a shame. Everytime we visit a European city we look to see if there is a segway tour available. The segway tour of Amsterdam is absolutely brilliant. Great fun on the segways and you get to see so much more of the city thank walking around.

What were those devices like a Segway but without anything to hold onto that appeared a few years ago. ISTR they had a tendency to catch fire and were banned but I could be mistaken.

You could be banned as well but the Mods seem to have forgotten what they are here for.

Hoverboards or airwheels

I used to use an airwheel for the last mile of my commute in London.
