Being new to scooter riding is risky business: one third of injuries happened during their first ride.
People ride Bird scooters in car-free streets during a CicLAvia event in Culver City on March 3, 2019. It's no surprise that scooters have injured riders. A software glitch in Lime's scooters earlier in 2019 had sentin New Zealand. Adding a new form of transportation into already crowded streets was bound to cause some bumps and bruises. But just how riders were getting injured—and why—is the focus of a new CDC study released Thursday.
Other areas hit hard include the arms , knees , face , and hands . Over a third had also fractured a bone. Instead, the public's lack of experience riding scooters could play a larger role in injuries. The ease of use of scooters has helped their popularity explode—no need to learn how to ride a bike or go through the training wheel phase—but the lack of experience is causing new riders to get injured in higher rates. The study found that a third of the injured riders were on their first scooter ride ever, and 63% had ridden a scooter fewer than 10 times.
