When & How did this become acceptable?!? Recent @traumadoctors Survey: 64% aware of an episode of WorkPlace Violence in their Trauma Center YET 60% stated it's not a problem! FISTS, PUNCHES, KICKS - most common ASSAULTS against Trauma Team Members doi.org/10.1136/tsaco-2025-0…

Our geospatial analysis revealed that e-bike crashes are more often concentrated in suburban areas, as illustrated in the heat maps, while conventional bicycle crashes are more prevalent in urban settings. (More city maps are in the article's supplementary materials.)

We will continue advocacy for safe e-bike use, including better injury surveillance and tracking (VINs); clearer e-bike classification; improved rider education, particularly regarding helmets; and infrastructure made to accommodate the higher speeds and unique risks of e-bikes.

Kits are available there and elsewhere online. Discounts are often available direct from suppliers during May - Stop the Bleed month. Some states and jurisdictions combine Stop the Bleed kits with public AED stations - if yours doesn’t, ask your local representatives: why not?
