Hoverboard Fire-Smothering Bags

The iFixit Smother Bag Puts Out Hoverboard Fires Quickly

iFixit has unveiled an exceptionally innovative product, called the Smother Bag, that is capable of smothering and putting out hoverboard fires before they can go about causing super lethal fires.

The iFixit Smother Bag is made of a high-tech fiberglass material that is very durable, enabling it to resist even the hottest lithium-ion battery fires -- the kinds of fires that can occur with hoverboard use to disastrous effect. What's more, this smother bag can easily be folded into a very compact backpack-like shape that makes it supremely portable. The bag comes in gold and gray finishes, both of which look exceptionally good.

Hoverboards are exceptionally fun but hoverboard fires are anything but, which is why the Smother Bag is such an important and necessary invention.
