Roller skating is safe as long as safety precautions are taken and common sense is utilised. Roller skating gets a bad rep from people, but even a sport like football which many are okay with their kids playing can cause serious damage to their kids. So why does roller skating alone get such heat? Probably because of how it is seen in pop-culture; pop-culture portrays roller skaters as people with a lower sense of regard for safety and as adrenaline junkies. If roller skating was performed under supervision along with the person using all the safety gear, there should be nothing to worry about. Also, those YouTube hits aren't worth getting your bones broken. To learn more visit Thrill Appeal website.

Wrist guards do indeed protect the wrist during relatively low-energy falls by 'load-sharing' with the wrists and arm bones and by absorbing impact energy
It helps by protecting your wrist-bone and your forearm from large amounts of weight on impact. If you don't fall completely flat onto the ground then while skating you could fall and it could help you slide instead of just hitting the ground

Keeping your figure
skating boots and figure skating blades dry is the key to their longevity.
Figure skating blades should never be stored in plastic blade guards!! Always
wipe off any moisture from figure skating boots and blades. You can use
teri-cloth blade covers, Zookers, or Blade Blankies to store figure skating
blades. It's typically a good idea to occasionally take your figure skates out
of your skating bag to let them "air out". Also, never leave figures skates in
your car during warm weather seasons. Most figure skates are heat moldable and
leaving them in the car can misshape and ruin your figure skates.

Usually skating blades are a 1/4th of an inch shorter than what the sole of your figure skating boot measures. For example, if the sole measures 10 inches, you would order a 9.75 inch blade.
Most sports stores stock skates shoes or your local skate supply store.
I'm also a cyclist and everyone is talking about foam rollers. Read this blog post which gives a really good explanation of how he used foam rollers to help strengthen his body.
