Figure skating : a dangerous sport Videos

Nov 18, 2008 - no i dont.... the only danger in skating is a rash from falling/sliding on ice... and if people suck at it, the blades... otherwise, its a safe sport -.-

Nov 18, 2008 - you should totally be a skater. You'd be the only one to get ice rashes, and the only one not to be hurt when your bony body slams into a sheet of solid ice while traveling at high speeds. I think as long as you're spinning really fast, the ice envelopes you like a blanket and deposits you onto a cloud. So thank you for redefining physics and human anatomy by ignorantly rambling about something you've never experienced. Are you a member of mensa btw?

Nov 18, 2008 - To "MePlease221" Uhm.. You shouldn't say anything unless you actually know what you're talking about. Yeah, some of those falls aren't that bad but you have no idea how hut you can get if you even make one mistake. Even if you are really good you can still injure yourself. Btw, I know what I'm talking about because I'm an ice dancer. =]

Nov 18, 2008 - God..you are an idiot...safe? were you even watching the vids? I had a fall that put me off the ice for six weeks (skull fracture w/concussion) and it wasn't from sucking at it...another skater slammed into me. It can be dangerous.

Nov 18, 2008 - I don't really follow skating, but Much RESPECT especially to the women of the sport. I see that they are obviously the most at risk of getting seriously injured in pairs skating. Being tossed and flipped by the men's strength.

Nov 18, 2008 - its a shame how much training and practising time they put in to trying to win, and then their dreams get smashed... as well as their face. it's a real shame...

lizfallonn Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - ouch... the pairs falls are horrible =/

Nov 18, 2008 - Skidding around at high speed on slippery ice on thin steel blades is dangerous? Who would've thought :) In seriousness though, it's pretty amazing what skill they have and the guts to go out there and do something so difficult.
