🚨 E-bike injuries are on the rise!
Drs. @JohnMaaMD and Blake Taylor discuss the case of Amelia Stafford, a 15-year-old who survived a devastating e-bike accident and went on to inspire new legislation to prevent more injuries like hers. Learn why e-bikes behave more like mopeds than bicycles, how helmet use and speed drive traumatic brain injury risk, and how physicians can push for change.
And stick around for Dr. Maa's update on new laws in California, New Jersey, and beyond!

Prevention is one of the most powerful tools in neurosurgery.
As part of #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth, Dr. Blake Taylor of @NeurosurgUCSF shares five things every parent should know before purchasing an e-bike for their child. Understanding the risks can help prevent serious brain and spinal injuries.
Watch the video and share it with another parent.
Thank you to @ZEISSmeditec for their support of #NeurosurgeryAwarenessMonth
