I accept that I'm going to fall. I have fallen. It's not that bad. I learned a lot about how to fall while minimizing injury from martial arts and there are other skaters who've picked up on that intuitively and have videos about falling and how to do it to prevent injury. Wear protective gear. I wear a helmet. I know older skaters who wear pads. It's fine. And skating within your limits means enjoying what you're physically capable of and the risk you are comfortable with. Myself, I don't plan on jumping huge sets of stairs or grinding stair rails. But I like to skate at the park and want to grind ledges and have fun on the boxes. Hope that helps.
