Default Roller skiing protective gear

You know, I can fix a lot of things, but I can't fix stupid.
So, John Forrest Tomlinson, you win. I've wasted enough time on you.
Lets just let this drop and have the courtesy to let the people who want
to answer my thread do so. One last thing....

OH MY! I found this PICTURE of JFT ...could it be...wearing a HELMET??
HARD to BELIEVE folks!

I think a fall at full speed roller skiing is the same impact as being
thrown from a car going 40-50 mph.

Gat a clue. First off, a helmet and elbow pads arent' going to
protect your face or you limbs in an accident at that speed, so you
may still end up drooling...

And more importantly, the most important safety device is your mind
and good judgement. Personally I dont' want to fall at all at 40mph
off of roller skis, so I simply won't go that speed on them, even if I
could. You should consider doing the same.
