An Exhaustive Collection Of People Nearly Killing Themselves On Hoverboards They Got For Christmas

While many people are wary of hoverboards because there have been a handful of instances of them catching on fire, the real danger is actually just using them. Many children received hoverboards from Santa Claus on Christmas, but eager dads seemed to steal their kids’ toy and take it for a ride. And what a ride it would be! Dads everywhere found out the harsh reality that they aren’t as hip and nimble when riding on one of this year’s hottest toys.

Look at the sheer cockiness of this dad who thinks he’s mastered the hoverboard by riding it for two seconds.

Do you want to wreck the Christmas tree? Because this is how you wreck the Christmas tree.

“Hey, I’ve been drinking straight Canadian Club Whiskey all day and I’m 52-years-old and haven’t done an athletic activity in over 20-years, let me hop on the two-wheeled hoverboard that has zero stability and ride around my house that has all kinds of hard and pointy things to smash my dumb skull into and have to be taken to the hospital on Christmas.”

“YAY! Santa got me a hoverboard for Christmas!”

AGGGHHHHHH! I violently fell to the ground and now my eye socket is fractured and my my pinky finger is pointing the wrong way!”

You don’t have to be a dick and shove your friend off their hoverboard, as you have seen, they’ll fall quite easily on their own.

This is getting painful to watch, not nearly as painful as actually breaking your spine like these people in the video, but painful never-the-less.

Don’t worry, Santa can’t handle his hoverboard either.
