And so many people pay no attention to the scooters and just step right in front of them. They do not stop that fast, they do not turn that fast. People are much more able to avoid scooters than vice versa.
I agree with both statements above. Last November, In used a scooter for the first time. I had a lot of trouble getting the hang of it. If it wasn’t for my son and cast members, I would have never managed. They are slow to stop. They are also somewhat confusing to operate. Fortunately, the bus driver assisted me quite well to get onto the bus. I am able to walk a few steps but had to hold onto someone coming off the ride Using the scooter was difficult but did improve with practice. Unfortunately, p[eople cut in front of me and kids ran into my path, not realizing that I might be unable to stop quickly. There should be signs around to warn pedestrians to yield to scooters as they may not be able to stop. Also, you don’t know what disabilities a person might has besides walking. Before I needed a scooter, I was always careful around them.
I am extremely careful on my scooter at the parks. Drive really slow and always on the lookout for people. However, pedestrians are very careless in return. People have actually jumped over the front of my scooter to cross the walkway. Run out in front of me to pass me by, and kids never look where they are going. So, it is not always the scooter persons fault when an accident happens.
I was at Universal Studios in a wheelchair. I could see this large woman coming towards me and realized she did not see me. I stopped at the end of a fence for protection. She was still walking fast and looking at her phone. She turned and fell across me landing face first into the pavement. She cracked her phone into pieces. I had grabbed the fence post fo prevent myself from falling over. Employees rushed to her aid An ambulance came to her aid. I was ignored They should not allow people to use phones without training
Hmmm…nobody read the article I guess. The scooter hit him from behind and torn his Achilles tendon. The scooter driver was definitely at fault, however, if this was equipment that Disney rented to a guest for use on Disney property…Disney must compensate this man for the physical damages and pain he suffered. I would not have settled for such a small amount. I love Disney, but getting hurt on vacation when you did nothing wrong is NOT acceptable.

He should be suing the guest, not WDW. No natter how much training Disney gives, it’s up to the guest that rents the scooter how he/she operates it.
