Carpet Skates - A Great Way to Break Your Arm (VIDEO)
A Great Way to Break Your Arm

If you’re looking for a new way to race across the office, then you might be interested in carpet skates.  Allegedly, they’re even faster than email. 

While the idea looks innovative, I found lots of carpet skating videos on YouTube.  So apparently underground carpet skating leagues have already started, and you’ve been missing out!  You’ll be happy to see that in this video, someone actually breaks their arm - so you know it’s a good sport.

You could probably make your own carpet skates, but these carpet skates only cost $16 and they look really fast.

Need to get something to the other side of the office fast? FunSlides carpet skates are just the ticket. They strap on in seconds right over your shoes and will have you blazing through the cubicles faster than a speeding Human Resources manager. Sprint, carve the corners, and stop on a dime in a spray of carpet fibers. E-mail might be faster, but FunSlides are a lot more fun! Warning: Always wear flat bottomed rubber soled shoes such as athletic shoes. Use only on carpeted surfaces in well lit areas away from stairs or obstacles. Adult supervision recommended for those without skating experience. The use of protective gear such as wrist guards, helmet, etc. may reduce the risk of injury. Ages 6 and up. (blog.scifi)

More like, 'wooden plank' skates. I don't think the kid at the end really broke his arm.
