I have young kids (7 and 9) who have taken ice skating lessons before. They will probably take them again this summer. Previously they wore bike helmets but I wonder about the protection level offered by them. I'm most concerned with avoiding an injury from falling backwards.
Have you had much experience with this? Is it best to get a hockey helmet? I think they have some sort of cage in the front which might be kind of distracting but they probably would offer better protection to the back of the head.
Do they have special ice-skating helmets even?
I'm interested in your opinions and experiences. Thanks in advance for your help.
