REPORTING. Surgeon and victims about the dangers of the electric scooter: “One ride won’t hurt, I thought” | Inland

During the first three months of 2022, the number of injury accidents involving e-step users increased from 96 to 296: a threefold increase. And those consequences are not mild. “In one fell swoop they break both jaws, both temporomandibular joints and teeth. Falling with an e-scooter is like falling with tied hands and feet. They are nonsense. Do not touch that. Take the bike”, says oral, maxillofacial and facial surgeon Christophe De Foer. Three victims tell their story: not for sensitive souls.
