According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), scooter related injuries are on the rise. You can learn more HERE!

The data shows the below:

• There were about 133,000 emergency room visits associated with all Micromobility products from 2017 through 2019.
• Much of the increase in emergency department (ED) visits involves e-scooters, which rose from 7,700 in 2017, to 14,500 in 2018, to 27,700 in 2019.
• A majority of hoverboard injuries seen in EDs (67%) involved children under age 15.  By contrast, 58% of injuries involving e-scooters involved people age 25 and older.
• Fractures, followed by contusions/abrasions, are the two most common diagnoses for ED-treated micromobility injuries.
• The most frequently injured body parts are the upper and lower limbs, as well as the head and the neck.
• Most of the injuries are attributed to unspecified falls.  Loss of user control, collisions with other motor vehicles, and pavement issues are other notable hazards leading to the injuries.
• CPSC is aware of 41 fatalities associated with micromobility products from 2017 through 2019, though reporting is incomplete at this time.
