HOUSTON – It was one of the most popular gifts this Christmas season - hoverboards. The Internet has been flooded with videos of people falling off their hoverboards, but one former athlete's knockout fall is going viral.
Mike Tyson, 49, shared his hoverboard fail Tuesday on social media. Tyson's tweet read: "Seemed like a good idea to ride my daughter #milantyson #cyboard #hoverboard but guess not..." He shared the same video on Instagram, with the hashtags #hoverboard #knockout #MikeTysonBreaksBack #imtoooldforthis.
The video shows him riding on a pink hoverboard, then seconds later taking a big fall onto his back. You can hear a big "boom" and laughing.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission told CNN Money that there had been 70 hospital trips as of Monday afternoon as a result of hoverboard-related injuries.
