"high profile injuries" is a wonderful understatement. The most notable "injury" being the death of the president of the company while riding his Segway [1]

That wasn’t until much, much later though. That was like 3 buyouts in.

Maybe ... he bought it out in 2009, which was also when Paul Blart: Mall Cop came out, which served as a eulogy for any chances of dignity for the Segway

Segway was introduced in 2001 and went on sale in 2002. By 2010 it was very much on a downslope.
