The Hoverboard failure and how the makers neglected the safety part
The hoverboard. Yes, the futuristic skateboard that was supposed to revolutionize transportation and make us all feel like we were Marty McFly in Back to the Future. But instead, it left us all feeling like we'd been ripped off and left with a broken ankle. Let's start with the name. Hoverboard. It sounds cool, right? Like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. But the reality was far from cool. It was just a board with wheels and a battery. No hovering here, folks. But even if we overlook the misleading name, there were still plenty of other problems with the hoverboard. First off, the price. These things were expensive! And for what? To ride around on a glorified skateboard with a couple of lights on it? No thanks. And let's not forget about the safety concerns. You couldn't go a week without hearing a news story about someone falling off a hoverboard and breaking something. And don't even get me started on the exploding batteries. Yeah, you read that right
