*Joint announcement from Shaare Zedek Medical Center and the Beterem Organization for Child Safety* *Within one day: 9 children were injured and treated in the trauma room at Shaare Zedek Medical Center after failing to wear helmets while riding vehicles – toy cars, bicycles, and electric scooters.* *One of the children, a 4-year-old who was injured along with his brother while riding a toy car at high speed, is hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit, sedated and ventilated.* An unusual cluster of cases: nine children who did not wear helmets while riding personal vehicles, including bicycles (electric and regular), electric scooters, and toy cars, were injured to varying degrees and admitted to the trauma room at Shaare Zedek Medical Center within a single day. One of the children, a 4-year-old, was injured along with his 5-year-old brother while riding toy cars at high speed. He was admitted to the trauma room with a severe head injury after colliding with an electric pole. After his condition was stabilized in the trauma room by teams of doctors and nurses, he was transferred for further treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit, sedated and ventilated. Meanwhile, his brother, who suffered a concussion, was discharged after treatment. The other injured children were aged 11 to 17 and suffered injuries to the head, face, limbs, eyes, chest, and back. After comprehensive treatment by multidisciplinary medical and nursing teams in the trauma room, they were discharged, with two of them hospitalized for observation. In addition to the trauma incidents, other cases of children injured while not wearing helmets during rides on various vehicles were also received in the pediatric emergency department on the same day. According to data from the Beterem Organization, in the years 2025-2026, 1,077 cases of injuries to children and teenagers due to the use of riding vehicles were documented. Of these, 27% were due to the use of electric bicycles (293 cases), 25% due to the use of electric scooters (274 cases), and 22% due to the use of bicycles (234 cases). The data shows that most cases involved children aged 15-17, accounting for 33% of documented cases (354). Among all cases involving electric vehicles (bicycles or scooters), 53% (302 cases) involved children aged birth to 15. *Dr. Giora Weiser, Director of the Pediatric Emergency Department at Shaare Zedek Medical Center*: "Unfortunately, we often encounter injuries in children, some of them very severe, after they failed to wear helmets while riding scooters, bicycles, and toy cars. The cluster of cases we received within one day is very concerning and unusual. I urge parents: insist that your children wear helmets, explain the dangers to them, and emphasize that there is no shame in wearing a helmet – these are unnecessary injuries that can be prevented and their damage minimized.
