  • Inline Skating Safety
    Inline Skating Safety The latest innovation in roller skating is inline skating. [*NOTE: Although many people know the sport as "rollerblading," the term Rollerblade® is a registered trademark of Rollerblade, Inc., and should not be used as a generic term for the sport. Accordingly, this document will refer to the equipment and sport by the generic terms "inline skates" and "inline skating," respectively.] In 1980, inline skates were an ideal off-season training tool for hockey players. Inline skating spread from hockey players to skiers, who also used them for training, and then into the general population of fitness buffs and recreational sports consumers. Swiftly gaining in popularity, rapid inline skating can burn as many calories per minute as cycling or running. Its low-impact, gliding strokes apply less injury-causing stress to the lower body joints than other sports such as aerobics or tennis. Ankles are well- protected because the boots are a heavy, thick plastic and rise above the ankle. • According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, as many as two-thirds of inline skaters do not wear safety gear. • The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that from 2003 to 2007 an average of 32,585 inline skating injuries occurred per year. • Inline skaters should always wear safety gear, including a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards. • Just as you would wear a helmet while bicycling, you should wear a helmet when inline skating. • Helmets SIGNIFICANTLY reduce head and brain injury! Since unintentional injuries can occur to even the most experienced inline skaters, the National Safety Council recommends these skating safety tips: • Always wear protective equipment: elbow and knee pads, light gloves, helmets, and wrist guards.
