Skating Ice Skating.
Many people injure themselves skating each year.
Injuries commonly occur due to skaters tripping on bumps in the ice, colliding with other skaters, or falling through thin ice. A skater can quickly learn to skate forward without having first mastered maneuvering and stopping techniques. Individuals must be careful while skating to protect themselves and others against injury. Skating instructions are one method of learning safe skating techniques. One of the most important skills a skater must learn, whether falling in a crowded area or while alone, is how to fall.
