Might that be partly because they are a fledgling technology and people aren't as used to them as they are with bikes?
That could mean a number of things:- riders aren't used to them so aren't as safe as cyclists
- other road users aren't as used to them
- some of the kit isn't that reliable
- as it is relatively niche, enthusiasts are a larger percentage of users and therefore more likely to mod them to go ridiculous speeds
It doesn't necessarily mean that they are inherently dangerous or considerably more dangerous than bikes, just that they might need more time to develop as a useful alternative urban mode of transport
- riders aren't used to them so aren't as safe as cyclists
couldn't the same thing be said about bicycle accidents?
