ouch!

well if it makes you feel any better, I did something loosely similar (though not nearly as bad) the first time I rode a scooter. Same problem: I was pulling the brake handle but not letting up on the throttle with my palm! Ever since then I've always made it a huge point of telling people about to ride a scooter for the first time to watch out for that. They seriously need to teach that in drivers ed or something. When you're used to riding a bike for so long it doesn't occur to you that when you brake you need to let up on the rotation of the handle!
