Liveline · "I'd ban all motorbikes, mopeds, scramblers from the roads" · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

or on an electric-powered vehicle, they might have their head down, hit into a lamppost or a parked car, live to tell the tale, but the paramedics will often bring us in the helmet and say, well, look what this is, and you can see that the helmet has taken the blow and the patient has ultimately not had the full kind of force of that impact themselves.

So we would definitely advocate for persons wearing helmets if they are in possession of scooters while definitely riding sensibly as well.

But a helmet will go a long way to try and dissipate the impact, dissipate the forces when somebody is in collision with another force.

Yeah, I think that we would certainly wish they would go further.

I think that any person who does result in an injury or ultimately succumb to injuries from e-scooters, from scramblers, we think that all of those are preventable.

So if that is people taking...

taking account of their own behaviours, behaving responsibly, not deregulating scooters so they're riding at a safe speed, wearing personal protective equipment, so people should be responsible for their own actions.

And when they're not, the Angaralachie O'Connor should have the powers to be able to enforce a law and to ensure that people are

abiding by those laws for certain.

Liveline · "People will describe other weapons...bicycle spokes, umbrella spokes..." · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, I'm a consultant in emergency medicine and trauma at the matter, that's right.

Yeah, no, that's what we've seen.

Unfortunately, when I came back from Australia, it's almost two years ago now, we just kind of felt that things were different.

It wasn't kind of the same demographic that we were dealing with.

I felt that I was seeing more knife crime

So we just looked at our own data and exactly the figures that you quoted there between the pre-COVID and post-COVID areas, we had seen a 68% rise in life-related attendances to our emergency department.

Yeah, definitely a male preponderance, but if you look at the breakdown of it, even though females would probably represent maybe less than 3% of the overall demographic, that is an increase on what we had seen previously.

So maybe more women are involved at a victim or perpetrator level as well.

Well, injuries really from the head to the toe, like knife crime affects any part of the body.

And so some injuries are, you know, have more morbidity or mortality associated with them.

But a message that we, you know, do definitely want to get across is that there isn't any safe place to stab somebody.
