NOTICE: "SKATE AT YOUR OWN RISK." Roller skating is a participation sport. There are certain risks that are associated with the sport of roller skating. When skating, you can fall for many different reasons. You can fall when you make contact with another skater; you can fall when you lose your balance due to your own inability to skate; you can fall due to other skaters' inability to skate. Because of the normal risks of roller skating and maintaining one's balance, you realize that when you roller skate, you are assuming such risks. We are not responsible for any injuries that we cannot control due to impulse or spontaneous actions of a person, which may cause you to fall. Every effort is maintained
