Helmet Saved Her Life on E-Scooter | Vancouver News
Description
A Vancouver comedian narrowly escaped serious injury after a head-on e-scooter collision, crediting her helmet for saving her life—while her story underscores a growing public safety crisis. Just days after a tragic death of a 30-year-old woman who wasn’t wearing a helmet, experts warn that e-scooter injuries are skyrocketing, especially among teens. Dr. Ian Pike reveals trauma cases in kids aged 10-14 have tripled, urging parents to ban underage riders and demanding universal helmet use. Pigeau, who once skipped her helmet but changed her mind after seeing the news, now says it’s not just about convenience—it’s about survival.
