Why are e-scooter injuries so serious?

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

Abu Dhabi Police have issued a fresh warning to e-scooter riders about dangerous behaviour on the roads. New analysis too from the UK has found that people involved in e-scooter crashes can suffer more serious injuries than cyclists or even motorcyclists. So what makes an e-scooter accident potentially so dangerous? And what kinds of injuries are doctors seeing? With major accidents rising sharply, what responsibility do scooter retailers have to make sure the people buying them understand the risks and the rules? And as Oman steps up its response to the oil spill along its coastline, we speak to an oil-spill specialist about the clean-up operation and what happens next.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
