Ironic but horribly tragic.
Seems like we lost one of the good ones. I'll be praying for his family. They must be devastated. Can't you just jump off the thing at any time? -------------------- Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body.

I saw this yesterday, and was thinking it must have been something like the steamroller scene in Dr. Evil's lair in the first Austin Powers movie. (The part where the guy is standing like 50 feet away from the steam roller, and it just keeps moseying along at 2 MPH, and the guy doesn't move...)

It's easy to do the tuck and roll, I would think! I am an expert at falling down, after all. -------------------- "Bees make honey....Do earwigs make chutney? Do spiders make gravy?"

Ironic, I broke my arm by falling off a segway that was going 4 mph. (I know, sounds impossible, but this happens to me all the time. (Not breaking my arm, but crazy things like falling off a segway.) It's annoying.)
