From TFA:

> Less than 1 percent of the injured riders were wearing helmets.

I'm not sure why this statistic was included. All it could demonstrate is "people more likely to wear helmets are less likely to be injured". IE: cautious people are cautious.

This article reads like FUD. Along with scooters, people are currently free to go bungee jumping, skydiving, rock climbing, skin diving, and all other manner of activity which carries a higher-than-walking-around-the-block chance of injury. I don't want to live in a nerf-like society, where our available activities are dictated to us by...anyone.

Because all of the scooters, for liability reasons, implore you to wear a helmet. Nobody does. It’s a farce. They are unsafe.
