Pat; as we age our reflexes become slower and many times stability is also effected. These things happen but we usually are unaware of it.
The skates may work for those who are young but the older set would only find them a hindrance what with gloves, knee pads, elbow pads, hip pads and of course the eyeball monitoring control helmet. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Fae better would be a small battery power chair with foot controls. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Don't even think of a powered skate board cause then you'll have to build a skate park just to limber up.
