Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is known for taking risks, but he isn't chancing anything ahead of this weekend's NFC title game showdown against the Arizona Cardinals.
Eric Adelson of Yahoo Sports (h/t UPROXX Sports' Pete Blackburn) passed along Rivera's rationale for banning hoverboards Monday:
Ron Rivera bans hoverboards in the team facility after seeing players drag racing. "We're trying to limit exposure to injury."

"They were drag racing them in the fricken hallway!" Rivera added in reference to the hoverboards, per Fox 46's Zach Groth.
