Parents feature in hoverboard fail videos
Scraped knees, broken bones and large holes in the walls are common side effects of owning a hoverboard, although it's not only children getting battered and bruised while trying the new toy - parents and even grandparents are jumping on (and falling off) the hoverboard bandwagon.
It was one of the hottest toys on the market this year and in the days following Christmas, an influx of photos and videos to social media has sent sites like Instagram into a #HoverboardFail frenzy.
American baseball player Dan Uggla was one of many parents to stack it on camera.
One 68-year-old grandmother suffered a broken wrist after braving the two-wheeled machine.
This granddad also fell while trying to keep up with his grandkids.
The kids in this video are moving around with ease on their boards while the gentleman takes only seconds to go flying from his.
One Instagram user found humour in a large hole in their wall, labelling it as 'Tony's mark'.
"What happens when you put a 45 year old on a hoverboard", the caption reads.
Hoverboards have been a controversial topic over recent months, with some brands of the board catching fire while they charge.
Internet retail giant Amazon even advised customers to throw away the hoverboards they purchased through the website due to the fire risk.
