浪漫惬意冰上运动：安全溜冰第一步_运动休闲
before you go out 出行前的准备：
● check the weather. skating in rain, snow, or ice is dangerous; dress appropriately for the temperature. you will sweat even on the coldest days so layered athletic wear is best.
● if you are skating with others, know the expectations and make sure you have the ability required. have a backup plan in case you need to leave the group (e.g., money for metro or a taxi.) bring a map, or know where you are going.
● have the appropriate gear:
＊ make sure that your skates are in good shape and fit properly. bring wrenches, an extra axel and axel screw, and parts for your brake.
＊ wrists and lower arms are the #1 broken or injured area--wear wrist guards.
＊ knee and elbow pads are highly recommended. make sure they are the right size and comfortably fit.
＊ you only have one head--a helmet may save your life.
＊ water--bring water, and drink it. this is especially important on hot days.
＊ first aid supplies--band aids, moleskin, etc.
＊ if you are skating at night, bright clothes and flashing lights are great so others can see you.
＊ bring sandals if you are going to do any non-skating activities before or after the skate. also you will need them if you decide to take the metro home.
＊ cell phone and palm pilot. just kidding! you really can survive without them, plus if you fall you might break them. ( editor: meliza email: liuf@24en.com i'll be very glad to recieve your letters and be your friend ! :) )
