How common are inline skating injuries?

Pat Hines (Traffic Safety Educator & Executive Director, SafeMoves) gives expert video advice on: How common are inline skating injuries?; What are the basic rules of safety for rollerskating or inline skating? and more...

The injury rate of inline skating among adults is really high. Because adults feel, "Oh, I roller skated as a child, I can skate as an adult." So injury rates very high among adults. Inline skating for children is not as popular as scooter riding and skateboard riding and certainly bicycle riding. So we're not seeing the data showing that inline skating or roller skating is dangerous for children because not that many children are actually roller skating or inline skating.
