RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A New Jersey hospital saw 14 patients on Christmas Day alone who were injured by motorized, self-balancing, two-wheel scooters.

As WCBS 880’s Stephanie Colombini reported Saturday, the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey saw 14 patients in the emergency room with injuries from the motorized boards on Christmas Day.

The hospital said it has seen a handful of additional injuries related to the motorized boards since.

Most of the injuries were caused by people falling off the boards, the report said.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission urged riders to wear the same safety gear with the motorized boards that they would use if they were on a traditional skateboard – including helmets, elbow and knee pads, and wrist guards.
