E-Scooter Injuries Surge Among Kids | Cork News

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Kids are getting seriously hurt on e-scooters—hospitals are seeing a shocking surge in traumatic brain injuries, with some needing emergency brain surgery. Despite a two-year ban, one to two children end up in ERs daily with scooter-related trauma, often under ten years old. Doctors warn these accidents are preventable but keep happening because of unstable scooters, high speeds, and collisions—leading to broken bones, spinal damage, and even death. The law’s not enough; it’s time for stronger action to keep kids safe.
