The safety of a child is one of the foremost thoughts in a parent’s mind. We want to be there to keep them
from all of the most minor scrapes and bruises, but as any parent knows that isn’t always possible. The roller rink is no exception to this, and though we take all the precautions we can to keep everyone safe, tumbles do happen on occasion. Ensuring your child is equipped with the proper safety accessories and measures is key. Skate World Leesburg, located in Leesburg, FL, is here with everything you will need to keep your child safe in the rink.
- Helmet – Head injuries are all too common within the world of sports and physical activities. If there was one piece of safety equipment to keep in the inventory, this would be the most important. Be sure the helmet fits snugly on the head and covers a good majority of the front and back of the head.
- Proper Skates – Skates are not a one size and style fits all kind of thing. When purchasing a pair of skates be sure that the skates are comfortable and don’t slip while rolling around. Make sure brakes and wheels are secure before each session.
- Appropriate Clothing – Clothing can serve a few different purposes when hitting the rink. One purpose can be to avoid unnecessary scrapes and bruise. If this is a major concern, wear long sleeves and pants to mitigate little injuries. Another thing to pay attention to is especially relevant to the pants. If pants are worn while roller skating, be sure they are not too long to avoid getting caught in the wheels.
- Pads – Another major source of injury while roller skating comes from elbows, knees and wrists. Elbow pads, knee pads and wrist braces are great pieces of equipment to keep in the rink bag.
