Unfortunately, in this day and age, we need to print things like this, so here it is.  Skate at your own risk FunRoll.com is an information site only and cannot be responsible for the personal safety of each skater during any of the group skates it promotes.  Each skater IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for his or her own safety, and for understanding the rules and guidelines of the road and boardwalk. Safety gear, such as helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and wrist guards are strongly recommended.  Be courteous We share the boardwalk with pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists and other skaters.  Let make sure we set a good example to the other groups. Skate Smart In-line skating, like any motion sport, involves a risk of serious injury.  Don't skate beyond your ability.  Make sure you know how to control your speed before attempting to go down hills, even small hills.  Take a lesson.  Learn to use the brake.  If your skate does not have a brake, learn other means of slowing down.  In-line skate brakes are designed to slow a skater down, not stop on a dime.  Anticipate dangers before they happen and react accordingly.
