Is there a name for this specific concept? Where somebody invents something (to do them good) but then that thing turns around and backfires on them?

    I think Segwayed is better because James Heseldon, inventor of the Segway, died after riding a Segway off a cliff.

    Edit: apologies! Apparently he didn’t invent the Segway, just owned the company

        Not to be confused with segued, which is ‘to move easily and without interruption from one piece of music, part of a story, subject, or situation to another’.
