Foot powered scooters ignite nationwide safety concerns
Eight year old David Raphael and many others in California favor fold up foot powered scooters over bikes and skateboards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports nearly 9,500 emergency room injuries nationwide this year from scooters, mostly among children under 15, with many injuries including broken bones and head injuries. The industry projects 2 to 5 million scooters sold this year, generating around 200 million dollars in revenue, while safety advocates emphasize helmet and protective gear use and supervision for young riders.
