Do you think it will be bad for Segway sales that the owner of the company died when he drove one off a cliff?

1 Answer

Answer :

Nope! I bet their sales go crazy! I knew about those vehicles they buzz around cities on but I did not know that they had these off road versions like the one the owner was riding when he went sailing off that cliff. They look way cool and I want one now and I am sure a lot of other people will now want one too! No such thing as bad publicity!
