I think even a 20 mile an hour crash can do quite a bit of damage. It doesn't take much to crack a skull or break some bones.

My response to any kind of scooter has always been "No thanks. I like having teeth.". Just not worth it to me. I'll use an ebike if I need to. Feels much more stable to me.

I know two people who required surgery after scooter crashes. One was facial reconstruction surgery.
