This article will help you to understand all the variety of ice rinks in Rostov-on-Don. You no longer need to puzzle over where to ride both on weekdays and on weekends and holidays.

General advice for skating rink visitors

The first thing to pay attention to during the training camp for the ice arena is clothing. It should not hinder movement, but it is good to keep warm. An excellent solution would be thermal underwear, which will allow you to abandon uncomfortable and voluminous things. Do not forget about mittens, which will not only keep your hands warm, but also protect them if you fall.

When buying skates or receiving them at the rental, you need to correctly select them for your foot size. The boot should fit snugly against the foot. This will protect you from injury while riding. It is especially necessary to monitor the lacing. The skates are always very tight, starting at the toes. At the same time, it is important not to overdo it, since if the lacing is overtightened, the blood circulation process in the feet may be disrupted.

Each ski area has its own rules for visitors. They can usually be found at special stands. However, there are general provisions that should be observed for the safety of yourself and others:

1. Children under 7 years old must not go out on the ice without an adult escort. If the child does not have experience in riding, it is recommended to use special protection in the form of knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet.
2. You only need to move on the roller in one direction - counterclockwise. Chaotic skating and harsh maneuvers can lead to collisions with other visitors. Some sites are equipped with markings that help to orient in the direction of the correct movement.
3. If you accidentally untie the lacing, you do not need to try to straighten it directly on the ice. This will not only interfere with the rest of the riders, but can also provoke an accidental hit and fall. You can lace up your skates on the benches outside the arena.
4. If a fall is unavoidable, then you should try to fall forward on your hands or on your side. Back impact on ice can cause spinal injury or head injury. When riding in pairs, holding hands, you need to let go of your partner, and not try to hold on to him.
5. It is recommended to inhale air only through your nose while on the roller. Mouth breathing can lead to colds. Also, after active skiing, you do not need to go outside immediately. Experts recommend bringing the body temperature back to normal by sitting in the locker room or cafe, which are found in almost all ice centers.

In addition, there are a number of actions that are prohibited on the arena:

• smoking and drinking alcohol;
• riding with a child in your arms;
• skating outside the rink without blade protection;
• going out on the ice without skates;
• bringing drinks, food and personal belongings into the arena for riding (they can be left in special storage areas);
• being on the rink with animals;
• riding at high speed or against the main movement;
• playing hockey during mass skating;
• performing actions leading to damage to the coating - picking ice with a blade or spilling liquid;
• you must not push, jump or perform any action that may interfere with visitors or cause injury;
• go out on the ice, being in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication;
• carry and use explosive or flammable substances.

All of the above rules are simple, so anyone who visits mass skating can follow them. With attentive and careful behavior, the pastime on the ice will be full of vivid impressions and will not be overshadowed by injuries and other troubles.
