Maybe We Should All Wear Helmets All The Time. It's Dangerous Out There
-
Here's another problem with those electric scooters for rent on the sidewalks of cities across the country: Not only do they clutter up the sidewalks when users just leave them anywhere, but many -- maybe most -- of the people using the scooters don't wear helmets, and, yes, there have been head injuries. The scooters look like toys, but they're not toys. And some riders are a little, shall we say, reckless. They're also not supposed to ride the things on the sidewalks, but they do. The company that runs the program will send users a free helmet just for asking, but the users aren't wearing them. Someone has to oversee this, don't they? (Los Angeles Times)
