LOL) PERSONALLY, I get very upset when I see the kids rolling down the isles - not because of the safety issue, but because I can't do it! LOL! (It's harder than it looks!!!) But yes, I do agree that, just like skates, protective gear should be worn for kids...I will however be a hypocrite, cause once I finally master how to do it, I will be rolling everywhere! LOL! -JM OK, I don’t know if a 26 year old doctor should admit this, but I have a pair :)

I swear If I get run over by another child who is heeling through the mall...walmart.. whatever... I'm gonna have to react in a regrettable way! Considering my career choice this would not be a good thing.... My god those things are annoying!!!!!

Never in a million years. Your post just confirms what I thought. I hate the things and they can't be worn to our school so, tell me again why I'd shell out $70 for these things? Don't think so.

The other folks on the isle are zigging and zagging to stay out of the way of these kids who seem to think it is the customer's job to move out of the skater's way, the mom seems to be oblivious. What makes the mom this way? I do not ever want to be beat down in such a way that it is OK for my kids to terrorize others while I peruse the jams.
