I never said they’re not dangerous, I never said kids should be allowed to ride them, I never said this is not something serious that needs to be looked into. I said that 6 extra cases in one year is statistically insignificant. It’s not an increase in cases from last year, even if it is a 50% larger number, because when you’re dealing with small numbers random happenstance can skew your data by quite a lot.
