PSA for my fellow olds (over 30): Do not, at any point, put a wheel between your feet and the ground unless you’ve been doing it consistently since you were a kid. You WILL fall, and you WILL break bones. Your opportunity to take up rollerblading, skateboarding, etc. as a hobby has passed. Accept it and move on.
But for real, balancing is a skill that needs to be practised and regular exercise to strengthen your stabilising muscles is important to stay mobile in actual old age.

Ban cars!
Oh wait, trains have wheels.
Lol, I mean strapping a wheel to your feet. Cars and trains are a wheel between your ass and the ground.

Every now and then I consider getting back into skateboarding but then I wisely remember this.
Rollerblading is pretty achievable, still, but I’m definitely not going in for wheels that are not physically attached to my body.
I broke my wrist rollerblading… If you’re over 30, you’ve been warned.
