https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260810/What-38000-trauma-and-incident-records-reveal-about-e-scooter-safety.aspx A large analysis of trauma and rental-scooter data reveals a distinctive pattern of head, vascular, and internal injuries, highlighting how age, sex, helmet use, and local conditions may shape e-scooter safety. A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports suggests that among people admitted with moderate-to-severe trauma, electric scooter (e-scooter) riders have a distinct injury profile, with head and internal injuries accounting for a greater share of injuries than among motorcyclists and pedal cyclists in England and Wales.
