A team has used Human Body Models to investigate accidents involving electric scooters and identified the most important factors for preventing serious injuries.
Helmets + Slower Speed = Less E-Scooter Injuries!
Just like wearing a helmet and slowing down can keep you safe while riding an e-scooter, scientists have found that these two factors are crucial for preventing serious injuries. Using sophisticated Human Body Models to study e-scooter accidents, researchers have identified these key safety measures. It’s like wearing a helmet while zooming through traffic or slowing down on a skateboard ramp to avoid a wipeout! By understanding the importance of helmets and slower speeds, we can minimize the risk of getting hurt on e-scooters. This research not only emphasizes the need for protective gear like helmets but also highlights how speed can impact injury outcomes.
