Some good advice has been given by Peter Cornall of the UK based Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. He distinguishes as "safe as possible" from as "safe as necessary."
In the context of ice skating we can expect to fall and we can expect to be bumped by others. Other activities, both leisure and occupational, have different contexts of application.
Because ice skating is an infrequent event for most people there are possibilities of over-estimating ability and of not being in shape for the sport. Both issues can be the cause of serious incidents. One recommendation is to jog to warm up and to avoid the mulled wine.
