Skateboards, Scooters & In-Line Skates

Skateboarding, riding scooters and in-line skating are popular activities in Canada. With the popularity of these activities increasing, the potential for injury is on the rise.

A number of the injuries associated with these activities can be prevented if participants wear proper safety gear and avoid risky behaviour. Health Canada recommends wearing a helmet, wrist guards, knee and elbow pads when participating in these activities.
