[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
[Notes:PIC OF HESELDEN]

THE WEALTHY BRITISH BUSINESS MAN WHO BOUGHT THE MAKER OF SEGWAYS APPARENTLY DIED WHILE RIDING HIS TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE.

[Notes:MAP]

62-YEAR-OLD JIMI HESELDEN WAS FOUND IN A RIVER NEAR THE VILLAGE OF BOSTON SPA. HIS SEGWAY WAS ALSO FOUND IN THE RIVER.

A WITNESS REPORTED SEEING A MAN FALL SUNDAY OVER A 30-FOOT DROP INTO THE RIVER.

[Notes:SEGWAY FILE]

SEGWAYS WERE INTRODUCED OVER A DECADE AGO. THE BATTERY OPERATED VEHICLES USE GYROSCOPES FOR STABILIZATION.

HESELDEN BOUGHT CONTROL OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BASED COMPANY LAST YEAR.

HIS DEATH RAISES NEW SAFETY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SEGWAY. BUT ONE TOUR MISSISSIPPI TOUR OPERATOR WHO USES THE VEHICLES WAS QUICK TO DEFEND THEM.
