Similar to when you are riding any form of transportation they are all fairly safe providing they are used safely and with the protection needed. There are many ways in which you can maintain safety when using the Hoverboard. The main way is to control the speed at which you are riding the Hoverboard. The reason why this is important is that if you ride the hoverboard at a fast speed and you manage to come across a surprise bump or if you end up losing control slightly then it will lead to a lot more injuries than if you are in control of the speed. One way in which you can limit the amount of damage that could happen if you do fall off a hoverboard is to wear protective gear. This would include knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet to ensure that the chances of you getting hurt are minimal even if you do fall off.
