New Sport

I'm presently thinking about taking up Rollerblading as my next sport. I've never tried it, but I used to roller-skate and ice-skate, so I'm hoping learning rollerblading won't be too hard to learn. I really need the exercise but running is pretty much out for me, and walking just isn't enough. I understand that rollerblading, contrary to what some might believe, is supposed to be safe, I guess after one learns the how-to and wears the proper safety equipment; knee/elbow pads and wrist guards, along with a suitable helmet. What do you guys think?
