Family’s warning after man’s e-scooter fall death in Nottingham

Officers said the inquest heard Mr Isaacs, from Bulwell, had been travelling at speed and had not been wearing a helmet.

Riding a privately owned e-scooter in public places was illegal, said the force.

Following the verdict, Mr Isaac’s family said he had been a “much loved son, partner, father, uncle and friend”.

In a statement released by police, they said: “We don’t want anyone else, any other families, to go through the pain and grief we have gone through so we’re urging people to wear a helmet and to fully understand the safety risks and laws if they are riding on an e-scooter.

“With Christmas almost upon us, we’d also urge people to think twice before purchasing an e-scooter as a gift for someone else.

“If they can only be ridden in private places such as a back garden, is there much point in having them?”
