Question:
If I fall while rollerblading, how badly will I get injured?
i will always put on my head, knee, elbow and arm gear but still i know i might fall sometimes. My question, how bad will be the fall? i'm a beginner in rollerblading and i dont want the fear or falling get in my way or be an obstacle but still i DO have to be careful i just wanna know how common are the injuries in rollerblading? can it be as serious as breaking some body part, even with complete gear on?
Answers:
Honestly, it depends on how you fall. I used to Rollerblade and skate a lot, but the way you describe it it seems like you're taking on ramps, etc. So I've seen people who've fractured their skulls from pulling stunts and paralyzed themselves, but then there's always the ones who don't get hurt but a scratch. Since you say you're a beginner I'm sure you won't be sliding down any rail soon. So you shouldn't be in too much fear. Honestly, falling when you're well protected like that does not hurt a bit. I'm a rebel so I didn't use anything at all but my forever scars make me regret it. Lol. So yea, it'll be fine. Just maintain your balance, always try something where someones watching, and DON'T do anything STUPID!
And you're all set! Best of wishes for you!
