Great example of bad data journalism. No total numbers of injuries, no comparison with other "dangerous" activities and no relative injury rate. just a very unsurprising stat that e-scooter injuries doubled at a time when usage boomed. Wait til they hear about cars.
Between 2021 and 2024, e-scooter injury-related admissions at Queensland Children's Hospital more than doubled, the study found, with young boys accounting for three-quarters of admissions, with a median age of 13.
