Skating Admonisher.

I went skating a while ago[years, really]. I had time off and they only hold adult skating during the day, so it was rare to have the opportunity. I was having a great time, and my legs were just starting to get tired, but I thought I could do one more lap. I was half way around when I caught the picks on my right foot and went down quite hard. There were about 20 people skating, maybe 3 near me, and while no one stopped [not that I wished them to] one man angrily stated to me that my head had nearly hit the boards. I got up, skated around to the exit where my shoes were and left. I haven’t been skating since. I wonder why the man was angry, and why he would chastise me rather than ignore me, or stop to help. It was genuinely confusing. People generally are.
