Skate Safely with Us: Important Guidelines for Your Safety!

​

For your safety and enjoyment, we’ve put together a few guidelines to help you skate safely.

​

1. Wear Protective Gear:
   Protective padding, including wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads, are available to hire for free at skate hire. We strongly recommend wearing these pads to reduce the risk of injury.

2. Observe the Skate Direction:
   We periodically change the skating direction. To ensure everyone's safety, please always skate in the same direction as the rest of the skaters. Our DJs may occasionally reverse the direction, so please pay attention to any announcements. Skating against the flow can lead to serious injury. Always join the skating flow carefully and wait for a gap to enter.

3. Avoid Standing or Sitting in the Skating Areas:
   To prevent accidents, please avoid standing in groups or sitting in the skating areas. Roller discos can get busy, and skaters are moving quickly. Fast-moving skaters might not be able to avoid stationary people or dangling legs. For your safety, please stay clear of the skating path.

4. No Drinking While Skating:
   Please refrain from drinking in the designated skating areas. Spilled drinks can cause slippery surfaces and increase the risk of falls. If you do spill a drink, please alert a member of our staff immediately so we can clean it up promptly.

5. Practice Area:
   If you need help or are new to skating, please use our designated practice area to build your confidence before joining the main skating floor. Our skilled marshals are available to help you learn to skate and provide guidance to get you started.

6. No Walking in the Skating Area:
   For safety reasons, please avoid walking in the main skating area, as skaters are moving quickly. If you need to assist others, you are welcome to walk in the practice area to help those you’re with.

7. Respect the Speed of New Skaters:
   For the consideration of beginners, please keep your speed moderate when skating around the floor. New skaters may need more time to adjust, and a slower pace helps create a safer environment for everyone.

8. Skate Marshals Are Here to Help:
   Our skate marshals, wearing high-visibility vests, are available to assist you. In case of a fall, they’ll help you up quickly to prevent congestion and ensure a smooth flow of skaters. Please stay alert, especially if you see someone who has fallen.

9. New to Skating? We’re Here for You!
   If you're new to skating, don't hesitate to ask our marshals for assistance until you feel confident. Remember, keep your arms down to avoid accidentally hurting other skaters or losing your balance.

10. If You Cause a Collision, Be Courteous:
    Accidents happen, even to experienced skaters. If you’ve caused a collision, a friendly smile, a quick apology, and a helping hand go a long way in keeping the atmosphere positive and safe. Let’s all work together to make Revolution Skate a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone.
