I've wondered what would happen to a Segway if one wheel got off of a developed path in nasty terrain. It seems he found out.

Cough, cough.

Seriously though, he saved countless lives with his HESCO barriers and gave millions to charities.

RIP Mr. Heselden, and thank you.

#2  Don't laugh too much. Until his demise, Mr. Heselden was best known for the 'Hesco Bastion', used on every US military base in Iraq & on most NATO bases in Afghanistan.
