Kids in Cape Coral, Florida, are sparking safety concerns with a social media trend called the ‘Scuba Dance’. The trend involves plugging one’s nose with one hand, as if underwater, while waving the other hand back and forth in front of the face.
Concerns Over E-Bike Safety
Residents expressed concern over the behavior, calling it dangerous and urging parents to take notice. The encounter took place outside a Tropical Smoothie Café in Cape Coral, where kids were seen riding e-bikes and scooters without helmets.
More risky behavior was observed, with several riders performing wheelies in the middle of the road. Drivers who viewed the video said they have seen similar unsafe actions in the area.
Cape Coral has seen several e-bike and scooter crashes in the past year. Last month, two boys were spotted riding a single e-bike near traffic, concerning drivers like Laura Swartz, a Cape Coral resident.
E-bikes are regulated as traditional bicycles, requiring no license, training, or age limit. Cape Coral police say they can stop riders who are riding recklessly.
