E-scooters might look harmless, but these are the injuries I see over and over:
✋ Wrist & forearm fractures — hands go down first
🦵 Knee injuries — direct impact to the pavement
💪 Shoulder injuries — force transfers fast in a fall
🧠 Head injuries & concussions — especially without a helmet
Most of these injuries aren’t bad luck.
They’re from speed, distraction, poor visibility, or lack of protection.
The good news? Many of them are preventable with smart riding and proper gear.
Ride aware. Ride protected.
