it's like the guy who invented the segway was killed in a segway accident.

I watched the last several seasons of "Stormchasers" before it was cancelled. Liked the show in general, and it seemed like the Twistex team was the most level-headed and safety-minded crew on the show, and the least likely to be thrill-seeking just for the sake of the rush (or getting that one great shot). Very sad to hear about their deaths. At least they died doing something they were very passionate about.

I saw some of the vehicles, unless the weather was so strong that it crushed it the vehicles looked like they didn't have a roll cage. Did they?
