This caricature shows shows a parent riding a hoverboard when it's dangerous for kids, but adults can use hoverboards because people that are 16 and up are allowed to use hoverboards because it's dangerous for kids to ride hoverboards because they probably wouldn't know what to do if the hoverboard exploded. If a person 16 or up had a hoverboard that exploded they would probably know what to do.

Require children to wear protective gear, such as a helmet and wrist guards. “Parents should enforce a simple ‘no helmet, no riding’ policy for kids using wheeled toys including hoverboards, skateboards, scooters and bicycles,” Dr. Rose says.

Don’t allow them to ride in or near traffic.

If appropriate for the activity, enroll your child in lessons. Learning how to fall properly while skateboarding, for instance, can help children avoid serious injuries.

Read all the manufacturer directions, including any age or weight restrictions.

Don’t use any motorized toy that overheats.

Only use the charging cord that came with the product.

Make sure the wheeled device your child uses is free of debris and not worn out.

"Riding one safely requires a good amount of core strength to maintain your balance. It often looks a lot easier to ride one than it really is." The study also tracked the number of injuries involving traditional skateboards. During the same two-year time period, skateboard injuries sent 121,398 kids under age 18 to the E.R. Three-quarters of them were boys.

"When hoverboards hit the scene in 2015, they were an immediate success. Also known as self-balancing or two-wheeled boards, these toys can be a fun way to get around. However, many parents began to wonder — just how dangerous are hoverboards. Shortly after their debut, several manufacturers started selling hoverboards that were not inspected for quality or safety." This tells me that hoverboards are helpful because it's easier or fun to get around with, but there really dangerous because they can explode.
