Are Heelys similar to roller blades or in line skates?

If so, how?





Which are safer?

Are Heelys similar to roller blades or in line skates?
Heelys are the brand name for sneakers that have a removable wheel in the heel of each shoe.





Heelys have only one removable wheel per shoe, so are not really like either skates, except that perhaps that you generally learn to use them by putting your feet heel to toe in an "in line" fashion.





My daughter got her first pair at 6 and learned how to use them very well in two weeks. She practiced in the kitchen at first, but good at it fairly quickly. She has had them almost 2 years now.





They are pretty good quality and the wheel bearings are quite good. My daughter has gotten them wet, sandy, etc. and they continue to work fine.





Heely's are probably a little safer for younger kids because they are easier to use and stopping is very easy. However, the danger of hurting your wrists or tailbone if you fall would be the same.
Reply:Absolutely NOT!! Nothing like them, not even a little.
