Do I need to wear protective gear?

Helmet, wrist guards and knee pads are always recommended. Protective gear is at your discretion at private and public events. However, if you choose to have a formal lesson as part of your private event, each skater must wear a helmet, wrist guards and knee pads. Protective gear allows the student and instructor to fully focus on the skills and not be fearful of bumps and bruises if (when) they fall.

By attending any Roller Skate Lethbridge event, you knowingly and freely assume all known and unknown risk of injury or death and agree to full responsibility for your participation. Visit this post for a more detailed explanation on why gear is important.
