Even awesome, thoughtful Boosted boards catch on fire now and then.  I think even with the beginning of honest alternative transport devices pushing technology to break new ground inevitably results in some teething issues that will get fixed as engineering and safety standards evolve with the benefit of hindsight. The sentiment of condemning an entire catagory of products for cheap knockoffs and slow-moving regulators is wrongheaded and dumb.<p>(If there were blanket bans for use, as opposed to sale, I wouldnt be suprised to see mobility device exceptions... But so far the much hooplahed NYC hoverboard ban never materialized on the street level.)
