    Falls can be caused due to shitty infrastructure. Absolutely we need to improve helmet culture, but better infrastructure improves safety overall.

      Sure, yes. Obviously we want better quality paving, marked crossings, and safe places to use scooters.

      However, it was pretty clear from the article that these injuries are due in large part to:

      1. Unrestricted speeds on scooters and
      2. A lack of helmet awareness with kids riding these scooters.

      I’m not saying the infrastructure being improved wouldn’t help, but you can upgrade it (the infrastructure) as much as you like, but head injuries will still occur unless kids start wearing helmets.
