London 'hoverboard' bus crash teenager dies

It is very sad that someone has lost their life.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-2492360 states that between 2008 and 2013 their were 1,889 people seriously injured or killed by a London bus.

I can't help but wonder if you might not be safer on a "hoverboard" than on foot or a bicycle.
