I would like you all to view this blog as a sign of how skitching can be dangerous. he was a family friend Caleb Potter he cant see out of one eye, will never be able to work again, and just when he started to recover (after a year) his father committed suicide most likely due to all the stress invlolved with the accident. if you skitch, do it safetly please.

if you wreck while skitching, then you have to wait to go skating again until your healed...unless you go anyway, but then if you crash again...

Its safer if you use a rope behind the car

Tow-rope aren't that safe, if you have to stop in case of emergency, there isnt much communication between you and the driver. A car pulls out of its drive-way and he hits the brakes and your hit his bumper cause the back lights turn red, but you didnt have time to footbrake hard enough to avoid impact.

I'd rather grad window frame and just push back, like a push-up as he press on the breaks, or just let go and coast uphill until its safe again.

I get the death wobbz a lot easier when I skitch. So I don't like to do it unless it's going slowly uphill.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

Skitching is dangerous... just like skateboarding, don't do it if you can't hang.

sorry about the wreck man, i hope you have a speedy recovery, thats got to be rough. good luck, and i hope this doesnt scare you too much from continuing skating when you recover.

You said it before I could! You can either live or play a video game. Carpal tunnel can be a bittch though.

Here's some reading for you guys. This is where you're headed. Any of you named Rober?

SATURDAY, Dec. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Make sure the holiday season stays merry by taking steps to prevent fall-related head injuries, says the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

About 2.8 million children and 2 million people ageD 65 and older are treated each year at U.S. hospital emergency rooms for accidental falls, the AANS says.

The AANS offers the following tips for preventing falls during the holidays and yearround:

•Secure loose electrical cords and pick up toys and other items that may be on the floor.
•Use safety gates and install window guards. Keep chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows.
•Make sure you have adequate lighting in your home. Dim lighting increases the risk of falls. Install night lights in halls and bathrooms and keep a flashlight near your bed.
•Keep items in easy-to-reach places. Use step stools/ladders only when absolutely necessary.
•Make sure ladders are stable and secure before using them.
•Wear proper shoes with slip-resistant soles. Do not walk on slippery, freshly washed floors. Don't use floor waxes.
•Remove debris and ice from walkways, driveways, porches and yards.
•Buy bath mats and rugs with slip-resistant backing and secure them.
•Install grab bars and indoor and outdoor handrails if you are elderly or frail.
•Do not allow children to take part in activities that are inappropriate for their age.
