Then look at the types of injuries, you’re not cracking your skull or lacerating your abdomen falling off a kid’s scooter that basically go human running speed (18-30km/h) MAX.
Then we have doctors taking about “sprains” and “concussions” typical falling off your e scooter injuries, but that the worst injuries are car related and it’s pretty easy to see what’s happening even with the blatant pro car bias this article has.
