I made this point - I can outpace 50cc mopeds on slight downhill gradients on my pushie.
BIG difference is that if I stack gettign tangled up with a pushie is not remoptely the same as with even a 100kg scooter. This is what will cause much damage.

I would say that you can still get pretty fucked up and lose a lot of skin. I think the biggest difference is that on a pushie you just CANNOT wear all the gear because you would probably pass out with heat stroke and crash - making wearing all the gear more dangerous than not wearing it.

I guess thats why I dont see many (if any) scooter riders wearing any safety gear. One helmet and acres of bare skin... Because they might pass out ???... mmmm

Nup - people on motorbikes or motorscooters that are not wearing the appropriate gear do so because of a lack of thinking. They don't think about the consequences of a spill or take the potential dangers too lightly.
