  1. Injury and safety concerns surrounding wheeled footwear

    A pediatric orthopedic study examined injuries associated with Heelys and the similar Street Gliders product. It reported a measurable rate of injuries requiring orthopedic attention, especially among first-time and inexperienced users. The findings contributed to public discussion about instruction and protective equipment, although the available reference does not establish a legal finding of wrongdoing by Heelys.
