I have a friend that keeps a Razor electric scooter for me in Honolulu that I use when I’m there for volunteer work. I need to run around three or four locations within a mile or two of each other and it’s very helpful. I’ve been using it for 4-5 years.
Last summer however (yes I wear a helmet) I took a pretty bad fall forward trying to avoid getting hit by a car, landing on the palm of my right hand and my forearms. Lots of bloody road rash, but no real harm done other than I still have two white scars running up and down my inside of my right forearm.
