BACKGROUND: Injuries caused by the use of unpowered kick scooters in Bergen were registered after their introduction on the Norwegian market in 2000.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a prospective one-year registration we found 62 patients with 82 injuries in Bergen accident and emergency department.
RESULTS: Boys and girls were injured to the same extent; the age span was from 6 to 53 years, mean age 11. Most injuries occurred in September. Two thirds injured their arms/hands, one-sixth their head and one-sixth their legs/feet. Wounds accounted for 37 injuries, often in the face (n = 11) or knees (n = 12). Fractures occurred in 34 % (n = 28); one third needed reduction. Lower arm fractures were most numerous (n = 17), the Smith type with volar angulation occurring in almost half of these. Few had used safety equipment (n = 5).
INTERPRETATION: Kick scooters cause fewer injuries than rollerblades and skateboards, but the use of wrist protection and helmet is still recommended. Kick scooters should not be used in traffic.
