Episode Details

Emergency doctors in Cork are sounding the alarm over a surge in serious e-scooter injuries among kids — even though riders under sixteen are banned. Since June, one to two children a day are being treated for head trauma, broken bones, and spinal damage, with some needing brain surgery. Despite a two-year-old law, many young riders aren’t wearing helmets, and the scooters’ unstable design makes crashes devastating. Doctors are urging a safety overhaul, calling these injuries preventable and highlighting the urgent need for stronger protections for kids.
