Weird, gross ice skating question????

[charliebee]

 Is an ice skate blade sharp enough to take off a finger.... as in you fall and someone skates over your hand, is it going to just damage your fingers or take them off??

...Sorry... I know its a weird question. SO thinks I have an irrational fear of ice skating.

Bump...possibly

Lol I've wondered this myself..

All the guys in my family played hockey... I've seen some nasty injuries I won't gross you out with.  Sharp skates are very sharp.  Just be careful.  Its fun!

Yes,  it is.

Hope that helps.

I'm going with, rentals are deffinitely not sharp enough to cut off a finger. As lon as you are careful, you're fine.

I dont think it could take them off, just would probably hurt really bad.  One time I did fall and my face landed on the back of the ice skate of the person in front of me...which cut my chin open and split my lip...and recently my 6 year old niece broke her leg ice skating.

I dont like ice skating either, its dangerous!

a recreational sharpening will typically just cut the person but a good sharpening can definately take off a finger.
