Segway boss died in 'act of courtesy'
A millionaire businessman who fell from a cliff while riding his Segway scooter probably died after trying to make way for a dog walker, an inquest has heard.
Jimi Heselden, 62, reversed the machine to make way for another dog walker.
Coroner David Hinchcliff said the boss of the Segway company apparently died due to this "act of courtesy".
Mr Heselden fell more than 42ft from a footpath above the river Wharfe near Boston Spa in West Yorkshire, close to his home.
The businessman had led a British takeover of the US-based Segway company, which makes and distributes the distinctive two-wheeled, self-balancing scooters, last year.
