浪漫惬意冰上运动：安全溜冰第一步
● Check the weather%26#46; Skating in rain, snow, or ice is dangerous; dress appropriately for the temperature%26#46; You will sweat even on the coldest days so layered athletic wear is best%26#46;
● If you are skating with others, know the expectations and make sure you have the ability required%26#46; Have a backup plan in case you need to leave the group (e%26#46;g%26#46;, money for Metro or a taxi%26#46;) Bring a map, or know where you are going%26#46;
● Have the appropriate gear:
＊ Make sure that your skates are in good shape and fit properly%26#46; Bring wrenches, an extra axel and axel screw, and parts for your brake%26#46;
＊ Wrists and lower arms are the #1 broken or injured area--wear wrist guards%26#46;
＊ Knee and elbow pads are highly recommended%26#46; Make sure they are the right size and comfortably fit%26#46;
＊ You only have one head--a helmet may save your life%26#46;
＊ Water--bring water, and drink it%26#46; This is especially important on hot days%26#46;
＊ First Aid supplies--Band Aids, moleskin, etc%26#46;
＊ If you are skating at night, bright clothes and flashing lights are great so others can see you%26#46;
＊ Bring sandals if you are going to do any non-skating activities before or after the skate%26#46; Also you will need them if you decide to take the Metro home%26#46;
＊ Cell phone and palm pilot%26#46; Just kidding! You really can survive without them, plus if you fall you might break them%26#46; ( Editor: Meliza Email: liuf@24en%26#46;com I'll be very glad to recieve your letters and be your friend ! :) )
