Between 2017 and 2024, emergency departments nationwide treated an estimated 380,000 e-scooter–related injuries and 155,200 e-bike injuries. That’s according to data published in the latest Traffic Research and Education Newsletter from the Traffic Safety Research Group at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV. It documents the growing number of e-micromobility-related accidents in Nevada between 2021 and 2025.

Nine years after the mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, medical professionals at University Medical Center of Southern Nevada say the night of 1 October still shapes how they prepare for disaster — and how they understand the lasting emotional toll on a community.

About 10 minutes after the shooting began, around 10:15 p.m., officers were making their way toward the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay, where the gunfire was coming from. Around that time, police say the gunman fired his final rounds. As officers worked to reach the hotel room, hospitals across the Las Vegas Valley began preparing for an unprecedented influx of patients.

UNLV researchers say emergency departments treated nearly 500,000 e-bike and e-scooter injuries between 2017 and 2024, and valley doctors are pushing for stronger safety measures.

The School of Medicine hopes study will help prevent further tragedies as e-device injuries increase
