Hoverboard, fire or injury? Keeping ER busy, and a way to get back at relatives you don't like.

Hoverboards might not be safe or legal in all places, but they’re definitely popular gifts, especially around Christmas, but controlling these Segway-like devices is no easy feat. We’ve seen plenty of fail videos on YouTube that show horrific hoverboard accidents, so we’re not surprised to see even more clips were uploaded on social networks immediately after Christmas. After all, many kids of all ages found hoverboards under the tree, and they obviously had to try them out as soon as possible.

I should have given one to some folks I don't like.

Should I upload this on Friday funnies?

Not a single one of those fools wearing any sort of protective equipment like a helmet or wrist guards. How long before the first death is reported from these things. Not to say they are not fun, more that people are stupid and do not take even minor precautions. That said, I would love to try one, though if my experience with in line skates are any indication, I should be wearing bubble wrap.
