Idk man, I have a friend who's almost 40 and he skates all the time (though he did start when he was younger). From what I understand, you just have to learn how to fall correctly, like, rolling with the momentum. Unless you have issues with bone density or something, I say go for it!

Unrelated but this reminds me of that Bayeux tapestry site that let you make your own medieval images/memes. I wonder if it's still around
