From skateboards and inline skates to scooters and bicycles, kids love all kinds of wheels. But the latest trend, wheeled sneakers, may be more dangerous than people think. "Heeling" (named after the most popular brand of roller shoes called Heely's) is
sending more and more kids to the ER everyday with scratches, bruises, and even broken bones.
Heely's are basically just convertible sneakers: walk in them like a regular shoe, or pop the wheels in the heel out and roll on them like roller skates. I think they sound like a total blast, but the problem seems to be that although the shoes come with recommendations for wearing protective gear, kids and parents alike don't seem to be taking it seriously.
Use common sense, people!
