I find it a little strange that people post about breaking limbs on falls from bicycles...Did any of this past experience of wrecking yourself teach you how to fall?
Yeah but **** happens and sometimes there is nothing you can do about. One of my worst accidents on a skateboard was going uphill. Go figure.
Appart from that though I fully agree compared to the hazards of skating fixed gear riding is a walk in the park.
