Nervous skaters who hang onto the handrail at the edge all the time might appreciate it if the handrail was a moving handrail, like on escalators. Slightly better skaters might like to give themselves a bit more power by lassooing a giant ceiling fan which rotates above the ice rink so they can be dragged round and round. Really expert skaters will opt for special high-ferrous-content skates which will be whisked round at high speed by randomly moving magnets under the ice.-- hippo, Dec 18 2008 Works for skiers.-- Noexit, Dec 18 2008 for novice skaters worried about their balance, they could use the walking frames old people use.-- Pellepeloton, Dec 20 2008 random, halfbakery
