Learn to fall safely on skates! 🤕🛼

Hey skaters! Today I'm going to show you how to fall safely. Hold on, are you missing something? That's right, safety gear. Make sure you're padded up and have all your safety gear on. Lesson one. Always remember that if you're losing your balance, hold on to your knees and get low to catch yourself. It's better to avoid a fall than to fall at all. Lesson two. Make sure that if you do fall backwards, you pick a cheek. Yeah, I said it. Pick a butt cheek. Try to avoid landing directly on your tailbone and tuck your elbows in. Lesson three. It's better to fall forwards onto your knee pads and wrist guards. That's what they're there for. And don't forget to get low and stagger your feet like this. Falling forward on safety equipment is ideal. Lesson four. How do I get up from a seated or fallen position? Cross one foot over the other. Turn your body around and onto your knee pads. Bring one knee up and place your hands on your knee. Push on that knee to come to a standing position. Falling is inevitable, but try to avoid falls and injury as much as you can. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
