Skating on a pond does not sound very safe. The wheels will slide on the ice and you will fall. Try skate boarding in a skate park or on the side walk. Also wear a safety helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and all that good stuff. It will protect you if youI fall. If you SKATE on a pond make shore that the ice is very very thick! My foot has fallen in ice cold water befor :S not fun.

Yes. Pond ice is hardly ever smooth, and therefore can hurt, and definitely dull your skate blade.

Yes, people still do that in some places where it is possible. But only when it's really cold and the pond is well frozen over.

Recommendations for safe ice thickness seem to vary. Four inches (~10cm) appears to be a minimum. Some say 5 inches (~12.5cm). See Related Links.
