Jacob Clarke was riding his own Segway scooter on Wednesday night, when he lost control and fell off.

"I misjudged the edge of the path, lost control and crashed onto the gravel area just off the bike path at Henry Rolland Park," the 33-year-old public servant told The Canberra Times.

"Unfortunately I wasn't wearing a helmet, which was a mistake and of course a hard lesson.

"I will be wearing a helmet moving forward.

"My advice: wear a bloody helmet."

In addition to breaking his nose, Mr Clarke sustained other more minor injuries, including "so many grazes and bruises".

A group of walkers nearby at the time of the incident rushed to his aid after the fall.

"One of them put me [in the] recovery position almost immediately, and one of them brought out their first aid. They called the ambulance and so did my Apple Watch."

His series 6 Apple Watch also notified his emergency contacts upon the fall, which included his mother, father and sister, who happens to be a registered nurse.

Mr Clarke, who is clinically deaf, was picked up by an ambulance and remained in the emergency department until 1am.

She remained with him throughout his time in hospital to help him interpret and keep him company.

The crash comes as a timely reminder, as Neuron and the Australian Road Safety Foundation team up to launch their student "ScootSafe" campaign in time for the new university year.

The campaign offers a crash course in e-scooter safety to new riders - particularly students - by laying out the do's and don'ts of riding e-scooters.

"E-scooters are a great means of getting around and provide residents, including students, with a convenient and efficient option for short trips," Australian Road Safety Foundation chief executive Russell White said.

"However there may be an increased temptation for students to ride under the influence of alcohol during the first few weeks of the academic year, increasing the chance for incidents.

"We're urging student riders to be responsible. Don't be complacent, don't drink and ride, and please wear a helmet even on the shortest trip.

"Neuron's e-scooters all have one provided.

"Be aware of the riding environment, pedestrians and others, and remove distractions, including earphones."

As part of the campaign, Neuron is offering discounted student passes, which are available in weekly or monthly options.

"We have a very low rate of e-scooter incidents across Australia, and generally students ride responsibly, but we want to take this opportunity to reinforce the rules and our safety guidelines," said Neuron Mobility regional manager Richard Hannah.

"Also we have some heavily discounted passes for students who ride frequently."

The packages will offer savings of up to 90 per cent, and will allow users to ride as many times as they want for up to 90 minutes per day for a fixed price.

ACT Opposition Leader Elizabeth Lee is currently chatting to constituents to gauge their opinions on whether the territory's regulations around e-scooters and e-scooter safety need tightening.
