overweight, but want to skate?

first, to all of you, trying to reduce weight this way: respect!
this post is exclusively dedicated to you.
is your body dynamics influenced by overweight? yes.
(here below, comparison overweight/normalweight would be more relevant, if made
between approximately same height & same sex individuals).

how could you avoid skating associated accidents &/or incidents, as much as a normalweight?
simple enough! ex.:
does the kinetic energy (at any given moment) of skaters skating
(overweight and/or normalweight), depend on their body mass & velocity? yes it does.
if your body mass is over your normal value (overweight), for a comparable
kinetic energy (to that of a normalweight), when skating, what would you
control &/or decrease first? (to keep yourself, in the same "risk zone" as a normalweight)
certainly, your speed!
- would you try to skate slower? 
- if you're a skater with a speed addiction, could you become an ex-addict?
  (at least until you reach your normalweight.)

would analogy reveal the unexpected & lead you, to the same outcome, for:
- rotational kinetic (turns, etc.),
- potential (downhills, jumps, etc.),
energies? :)
