Razor Scooter Accident Facts
WASHINGTON, D.C. - % (CPSC) today reported that emergency room-treated injuries related to popular lightweight scooters have increased 700 percent since May. CPSC data show that there were more than 4,000 scooter-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms in August alone. There have been more than 9,400 emergency room-treated injuries reported for 2000 so far. Nearly 90 percent of the injuries are to children under 15 years of age.
The problem is that many of the companies do not provide adequate safety tips or injury prevention methods. The scooters do not have enough warnings on them and do not promote strongly enough the idea of safety over speed.
