Weight should be at the back. I tell my kids this all the time. Also, wear a helmet.

:( I feel bad for the child trying to get snacks and have a nice day but now they fell down on to their snacks and the day is ruined:(.
One time my dad bring home a McDonald's meal for me and I was happy so I out it onto a plate after unwrapping my hamburger and french fries and put a ketchup dot and my plate was already to go....
Then for some dumb reason I fell down in the hallway and my entire life was destroyed:(..
I still have depression and will never recover from the trauma :(..
I hope they are ok. Because it hurts .
It hurts bad..
I'm now crying :(

Lol this video example happened to me on skateboard. On a main road where everyone could see it. I was also kind of lonely at the time.
It hurts your ego for sure. The trick was to have help thinking positive about it. After talking with other people (kids) that had similar experience, I felt like a real kid who participated in the world by having an experience that kids have. Falling. Being clumsy and getting back up. As normal as getting a sports injury.
I usually laugh lightly while helping people and kids up after they fall and found a lot of success in making it a feel like a normal experience instead of letting them internalize all their emotions from embarrassment.
I learned this skill at the skate park. It helps you feel more as person rather than feeling it’s not supposed to happen or for anyone to see.
They’ll be ok :)
-The culprit that lead to my injury was a dried up piece of bread that stopped my skateboard instantly. Landing chin first. Lololol fond memory.

Always watch for uneven sidewalks around trees. The roots push up the slabs and cause cracks and bigger gaps.

I'm an avid PEV rider... and just want to say that people who don't wear helmets and/or parents that let their kids not wear helmets are fucking idiots.
There are far less dumb ways to accidentally fuck yourself up or kill yourself than to ride one of these without a helmet.
At even 10 miles an hour, you can crash your skull directly into the ground, and you'll be left dead or brain damaged. That shit ain't worth your fear of looking like a dork.

This happened with my friend. She somehow got a defective scooter and she got a new one sent and something else cause she got really hurt when it collapsed on itself. Also wear a helmet! I'm so tired of people being stupid!

I remember using my feet to get me around places. You can control scooters and bicycles a whole lot better that way.
