Hospitalizations for people riding e-scooters in Canada increase by about 40% over the past year, according to data cited by multiple outlets. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reports the rise applies to both children and adults.
The reported cases frequently involve serious injuries, including head and brain injuries. One outlet describes many hospitalizations as involving the head and brain, highlighting the medical severity of crashes. The outlets focus on different aspects of the same CIHI findings: one emphasizes the overall percentage increase, while the other underscores the nature of injuries seen in hospital data.
