Boston College is moving to ban electric scooters and other modes of transportation like electric skateboards and hoverboards over safety concerns.
Kyle Wolff, a freshman on BC's baseball team, says his e-scooter makes getting back and fourth to practice more convenient. "I don't take it to class," he said."I just use it to get down to the field just because it's so far away." A growing number of schools around the country are putting restrictions on electric devices like e-scooters, with students suffering serious injuries and, in at least one case, death."There's obviously convenience with them, but there's also some danger. They go really fast. People are worried about collisions," said BC student Jack Redmond.
