bicycle helmets kids safety image
soliton
Now that my little girl is almost 4 years old I wonder if she's about the right age to start in line skating. I've heard stories of ankle or knee problems if a kid starts to skate too early.
I stopped skating long time ago, I think I've found a perfect excuse to start skating again.
Thanks

I can't find any information online about the dangers of starting to skate at age 4. As long as you are there to help your little girl, I think it would be fine if she started to skate now. This website has a tone of really useful safety information about in-line skating:
From the site:
In-line skates
In-line skating has rapidly gained popularity since off-season ice hockey players began practicing with them in the 1980s. It is estimated by the National Safety Council that there are 20 million in-line skaters annually (all ages). In-line skating crashes can occur even if the individual is experienced in the sport.
High-risk situations for in-line skaters include the following:
learning to skate
skating in the street
crossing streets in densely populated areas
changes in skating path conditions (such as traffic, water, potholes, or other debris)
weather conditions that can change the surface condition of the road
As with bicycles, helmets can protect the in-line skater from serious, sometimes fatal, head injuries. In addition, other safety gear such as elbow and kneepads, gloves, and wrist guards can also minimize injuries in the event of a fall.

What are the government proposed limits on "high risk" citizens?

considering health care?
Will bungee jumping be covered? Will persons required to take specific classes and receive certification for certain sports? And will parent be put in prison for not providing their children with bicycle safety helmets which accidents cause increased cost for the community to take on as a burden?
Answer
No, no and no to answer your questions.
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.
I think the last link is of most use in addressing your concerns.
