  "Segway company owner killed by own Segway" is virtually irresistible as a media narrative.

    If he drove his car off a cliff and died, would the headline be "Porche killed Segway owner"?

        No, they don't. People driving them kill people.

      If the owner of the Porche company drove his Porche off a cliff then yes, I imagine the same sort of thing would happen.
