## Resource

San Francisco’s Fourth of July saw a spike in emergency calls—not from fireworks, but from electric scooter crashes. Riders, often without helmets and sometimes under the influence, tumbled down steep hills at high speeds, suffering head trauma, broken bones, and severe facial injuries. While only teens are legally required to wear helmets, adults ride unprotected, leading to dangerous outcomes. Scooters, legal for licensed riders and allowed on bike paths, are increasingly involved in collisions with cars, turning city streets into high-risk zones.
