Rollerblade/Skate Rules


  • Protect your head. Always wear a helmet-Its now the law!
  • Wear elbow and knee pads
  • Wear wrist guards
  • Wear gloves
  • Always ride during daylight hours
  • Wear bright-colored clothes that make you more visible
  • Stay alert! Watch for potholes, dogs, water, rocks and people.
  • Look both ways before crossing alleyways and driveways.
  • Children younger than 5 years of age should not use roller-blades. Their center of gravity is higher, their neuromuscular system is not well developed, their judgment is poor, and they are not sufficiently able to protect themselves from injury. More developmentally appropriate activities need to be encouraged.
