Should new skaters be required to take a skatepark safety class?
Safety classes can be valuable for young skaters not familiar with the general layout and flow of traffic at a skatepark. Small children often stand on an element in the middle of a street course that a number of people are waiting to ride. The kids don’t understand that they’re impeding the use of the park, and would benefit from having someone explain where one should and shouldn’t stand, and what to look out for before dropping in. Most parks don’t require such a class, but it could be valuable for new or young skaters.
