E-scooter users urged to wear helmets over 'severe' injury risk

Electric Scooter injuries can be severe and complex.

A consultant orthopaedic surgeon has called on people using electronic scooters to wear helmets and to be aware of the speed at which they are travelling.

Dr Ciara Fox of Connolly Hospital told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that research carried out in the hospital over 12 months found that injuries sustained from e-scooters were severe and complex, frequently resulting in surgery.
