It is all about getting places, the faster the better. Sometimes it is all about pure enjoyment too. For years scooters have filled that need for kids of all ages. Scooters can not only get you places but pro scooters are a great form of sport and recreation. Scooters have come a long way. Far more high tech and sophisticated they can come with all the latest accessories. Not just about going for a ride down the sidewalk anymore. Scooters are big time in the competitive arena. Pro scooters are all about the serious rider who is ready to show their stuff doing it bigger and better.

Regardless of how you use your scooter there are always safety measures to be taken seriously. Accidents can happen resulting in major injury and even death.

Knowing safety laws is also important. Every person riding a scooter for whatever purpose needs to abide by regulations and laws. It is most often the failure to adhere to laws that result in injury of one or both parties. Make sure that this is a priority.

Some of the most common injuries acquired while riding a scooter are abrasions, cuts, broken bones, sprains, fractures and head injuries. Severity will be a various degrees.

First and foremost is the need to wear a helmet. Wearing a helmet just makes sense. The brain is so susceptible to injury and the skull can only provide a certain amount of protection. Powerful impacts such as the head hitting the pavement without a helmet can be fatal. Research indicates that the use of helmets can greatly reduce the severity of the injury.

There are some safety tips regarding helmets. Always make sure that there is a proper fit. Make sure that the helmet fits properly and is secure. A well fitted helmet doesn’t move around on the head. The helmet should sit just above the eyebrows. Helmets help to absorb impact.

A helmet is not the only needed gear to prevent injury. Wrist, elbow and knee guards should also be born for added protection. Safety should be at the forefront of any scooter use. Remember to take care of all your equipment, keep it clean and in good condition.
