Doctors Warn of Rising E-Scooter Injuries Among Children
Doctors at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children report a significant increase in serious injuries among children using e-scooters. The hospital has seen a rise in traumatic injuries and complex fractures, with cases doubling annually since 2024. Many injuries result from high-speed crashes or collisions with vehicles, leading to severe head, thoracic, and abdominal injuries. The hospital's trauma program highlights the need for stronger public education and regulations to prevent such injuries, as many parents are unaware of the risks associated with privately owned e-scooters, which can reach high speeds.
