I tried to google scooter accidents in Atlanta. I didn’t find anything about the scooter rider hitting pedestrians, instead I found examples of people on scooters being run over by cars.

Of course, you bring this up and people will start talking about all the times they were "buzzed" by someone on a scooter, an event which might have led to some bruises or, at worst, a broken wrist. Never mind being buzzed by a car when on a bicycle - a ubiquitous event which can easily end with you losing your balance, falling under the rear wheels, and getting turned into strawberry jam.
