In an interview, the surgeon Michael Zyskowski explains the increase in e-scooter accidents in Germany, emphasizes the dangers posed by unstable vehicles and the lack of experience of the riders, and advocates for wearing helmets to reduce severe head injuries, while pointing out that there is still no helmet requirement in Germany.

The article informs about the introduction of the obligation to wear helmets while riding e-scooters in France due to the high number of accidents. (translated)
I agree with @janoschdahmen. The rate of brain injuries from e-scooters is much higher than expected at the introduction. The risk is higher than on bicycles or motorcycles. A helmet requirement would simply prevent many severe brain injuries. (translated)
Following the example of France, where a helmet requirement was introduced for e-scooter riders, the debate about the obligation to wear helmets has once again flared up in Germany after nearly 16,500 accidents involving electric scooters occurred last year, resulting in 38 human lives lost and leading to calls for stricter regulations, while opinions on the matter are divided between health advocates and critics who prefer individual responsibility.

From now on, there is a helmet requirement for e-scooter riders in Paris, as the number of serious accidents with these vehicles is increasing, with not wearing a helmet punishable by a fine of 135 euros and not having a warning vest punishable by 35 euros. (translated)

Laut einer Umfrage befürwortet die Mehrheit der Deutschen eine Helmpflicht für Fahrradfahrer, während gleichzeitig viele Radfahrer, insbesondere jüngere, keinen Helm tragen, häufig aufgrund kurzer Fahrstrecken oder Unbequemlichkeit. #Helmpflicht #Fahrradsicherheit #Radfahrer
Im Jahr 2025 starben 403 Menschen im Straßenverkehr, wobei E-Scooter-Unfälle einen markanten Anstieg der Verletzten, insbesondere bei Kindern, verursachten, und nur 18 Prozent der verunglückten E-Scooter-Fahrer Helme trugen. #EScooterUnfälle #Verkehrssicherheit #Helmpflicht
