Rollerbladers, like most men, avoid doctors. There are times that your rollerblader or one of his friends should go to the doctor but they won't. They will insist upon the fact that they can be fixed with whatever is in your house. If you have taken my advice you will be better equipt to deal with the whole ordeal. Things that should require stitches will be held together with butterfly closures. If you haven't taken my advice you'll be checking your drawers for superglue and duct tape..
I am pretty confident that they will go to the doctor if something is broken or newly dislocated... the ones familiar with dislocations will just pop it back into place.
My rollerblader, also a previous pole vaulter is a perfect example. He was out skating and hurt his wrist. What he did is what most rollerbladers will do, wrap up their wrist and continue skating. After this happened he proceeded to pole vault on his injured wrist, the one that held most of his weight. As a result, his hand doesn't bend back very far. This injury was a result of rollerblading so it doesn't really exist.
