He got no tail, and decided to take a scooter back to east where we were staying. Ended up wiping out, skinned his face up real bad, maybe chipped a tooth, possibly a concussion
Speaking of...A very close friend is dead from one of those Nashville scooters...Him and some buddies had just left the Titans game and were taking scooters to a place to eat....it was dusk dark and he hit a small pothole and he went headfirst over the handlebars....he face planted on the pavement and when they got there to him there was blood coming out of his nose...ears and mouth. He spent 5 days at Vanderbilt hospital in a coma with no signs of life except a heartbeat. They unhooked him and he died pretty quickly afterwards..
The neurologist at Vanderbilt said it was unreal how many were brought to just Vanderbilt who were hurt riding those scooters.

damn man, my condolences. That's awful. And yes, those things are accidents waiting to happen, especially considering how many inebriated people jump on them. My gf worked at Vanderbilt Neurology, and yes, they had several scooter accident patients.

I grew up riding motorcycles, scooters, 4 wheelers etc. One of the first things I did when I was learning was go over the handle bars. I made the mistake of hitting the front brake hard.
Do the Nashville ones not require a helmet?
