After banning hoverboards from dorms in December, officials at the University of Hartford in Connecticut are now considering a full ban because of concerns over how to store them safely, said David Isgu, a school spokesman. Some of the reported fires have occurred while the boards were being charged.
位于康涅狄格州的哈佛大学去年12月已针对电动滑板发布了宿舍禁令,目前正在考虑颁布全面禁令.该校发言人大卫·易思谷称,考虑全面禁令是因为担心这种东西不好储放.已有数起火灾是由滑板充电引起的.
Bryce Colegrove, a sophomore at Shawnee State University in Ohio, got an email from his school telling students to leave their hoverboards at home after the holidays. It was bad timing for Colegrove, who had just received one as a gift from his girlfriend and had even plotted his new routes to class.
布莱斯·科尔格罗夫是俄亥俄州立肖尼大学的大二学生,他收到了校方的邮件,要求他们假期后把滑板留在家里,不要带到学校.对科尔格罗夫来说,这一禁令太不是时候了,因为他刚从女友那里得到了一个滑板礼物,已经计划好去教室的新路线了.
"Honestly I was really disappointed," said Colegrove, 20. "I don't think it's right to ban them. I mean, it's a college campus; it's not a high school."
20岁的科尔格罗夫称："老实说,我太失望了.我觉得学校不该禁滑板.这已经是大学了,又不是高中."
Others took to social media to voice their frustration, with some saying they planned to bring their scooters to school anyway.
还有学生到社交媒体上吐槽,有些人已经决定不顾禁令,照旧带滑板去学校.
Hoverboards already have been banned by the three largest U.S. airlines, citing potential fire danger from the lithium-ion batteries that power them.
