Safety First when Skateboarding and Scootering in Burlington

Before you head out, make sure you’ve got all of the safety gear you need to make your day as safe as it is fun. There is nothing fun about head injuries. Read some safety tips here from the Hamilton Police Services:

Why is Safety Important?

It is easy to lose your balance on a skateboard, especially for beginners. Most injuries that occur happen to people under the age of 15, many of which are beginner skateboarders.

However, experienced skateboarders have accidents too. As the difficulty of their tricks increases, so does their risk of falling and getting hurt.

Wearing Appropriate Gear

It is important that you wear the proper safety gear to avoid injury.

Here are some tips to get you started….

  • Skateboard – Ensure that your skateboard is in good working condition. Check for cracks, damaged wheels and loose parts before you skate.
  • Helmet – A helmet is a MUST! Get a helmet that is specifically designed for skateboarding.
  • Shoes – Never wear sandals when you skateboard. Invest in a good pair of closed shoes with soles that have a good grip.
  • Knee & Elbow Pads – Pads are recommended for beginner and experienced skateboarders. Ensure that your pads have a hard plastic shield on the outside with no cracks. The pads should fit snugly and still allow you to move freely.

Where to Ride

It is important to ride on surfaces that are smooth and free of rocks, sticks and other obstacles. Skate parks are a great place to ride, however, ensure that you obey all the rules governing the use of the park.
