Hoverboards randomly catching fire has become a big problem.

A number of airlines have banned the devices and government agencies in the U.S. and U.K.--among other countries--have been investigating the hoverboards, with United Kingdom authorities even seizing thousands of ones found defective.

Hoverboards can explode at any moment, it seems, as evident in a video a Los Angeles man captured of his own hoverboard bursting into flames. Warning: Video contains profane language.

YouTube user Delvon Simmons says he charged his board to take it out for a ride, and “within five minutes this happened.”

“$600 down the drain people be careful, they slipping cheap batteries in the boards to meet the demand,” he added.

““I bought it on aliexpress about 5 months ago. I started smoking then locked up and threw me off the rest is history.”
