Chances are, If you resisted buying a pair of heelys, because they weren't obnoxious or flammable enough for you, you are probably really excited about these things.

Amazon.com announced today they would be pulling the boards from their site, due to concerns over the issues.

...& I haven't even gotten to the fact that these "hoover" boards quite clearly have wheels.

This board fire may be related to the issues, or maybe this specific board is just evil.

Due to the issue, these devices are now banned from being brought on to all major airlines.

Lately the excitement about the boards has been tempered over their penchant for unexpectedly bursting in to flames.

It's like a cross between a Razor Scooter and a Ford Pinto. There is no doubt that these things are the hottest item on the shelves this Holiday season!

The Federal Government is currently investigating the safety of the devices after several incidents where the boards have burst into flames.

Crispy board bro.

At the moment, it is unsure how long it will take companies to resolve the whole catching on fire issue.

In the meantime, some of us will just have to go back to our perfectly good, not at all likely to catch on fire, legs.
