Message: [QUOTE="Deebo, post: 209038, member: 13897"] That’s an awesome perspective [USER=77791]@valosagutas[/USER]. It’s unfortunate you had to deal with skating being such a gendered activity though. Weird to think people used to care about stuff like that more. And I guess I gotta agree, the emergence of video games probably saved a few lives for kids who would’ve otherwise been rolling around getting hurt. People are not careful enough in cars. I’m a victim of severe helicopter parenting, so think kids often aren’t given the autonomy and mobility they need, but I’m also NOT a parent myself, and I’m sure my tune would change if a child in my community died too soon from a skating accident. It won’t make you invincible, but everyone remember to wear your pads and helmet, especially outside! Don’t ride on roads or paved surfaces unprotected. Honestly though…indoors I just wear wristguards. 😅 That’s just cuz I rink skate though, there’s not a lot of threats to safety there. Wristgaurds are so underrated—when you fall, 9/10 times you’ll try to brace yourself with your hands, and wrists are easy to break that way. If you’re going to wear anything, other than a helmet, wear wristguards. [/QUOTE]
