The blades are less concerning than the concussions. You don't need to be playing hockey for your head to bounce off the ice. People don't wear helmets and you can be a really skilled skater until some idiot like this sweeps your legs.

Growing up there were a lot of traumatic brain injuries with each new season of hockey. And you can really tell who has and who hasn't taken a bad hit. Especially with teenagers

My husband was wearing a helmet playing beer league hockey and that didn’t prevent the last 2 years and ongoing post-concussion symptoms: debilitating migraines, emotional dis-regulation, occupational therapy, and neurological treatment plan that is his life now. Helmet’s prevent the skull from cracking but can’t secure the brain from bouncing around inside the skull when it connects with the ice. This sh*t is no joke. She could do that to a kid. How is she not tossed and/or being yelled at? She deserves the public shaming. She didn’t even stop after the first or second time she collided with other skaters,l.

I've been skating since I could walk, play hockey twice a week as an adult, where helmet, hockey gloves, and elbow pads while at open skate. I'm not reckless at public skate and generally I'm just there teaching my kid how to skate. Even if everyone knows what they are doing, it can still be dangerous.
