It is noted that an unsuccessful scooter ride often leads to severe fractures that negatively affect the motor function of the limbs. In many cases, the patient remains disabled.

According to the doctor, data from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs show that the number of such accidents has increased threefold in 2 years. Last year, 3,100 cases were recorded.

He added that to prevent unpleasant situations when using an electric scooter, it is important to wear protective gear, monitor the speed limit, be especially careful while driving, and pay attention to the transport and pedestrians around.
