Video Captures 'Hoverboard' Scooter on Fire

2015-12-01 1

Safety concerns over “hoverboard” scooters, one of this year’s most popular Christmas gifts, have been raised after an Alabama man shared a video of his after it caught fire. Gulf Shores resident Timothy Cade claims that the product, which does not actually hover, exploded under his feet just three days after he purchased it from a seller on Amazon.

“I came outside turned it on, came down the sidewalk not even a 100 feet, and it exploded,” Cade told WKRG TV


This footage, shared by Cade on Facebook and YouTube on November 27, does not show the moment that the toy caught fire. Storyful has reached out to Cade for more information about the incident.
