You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!
I bet cash money (not really) that you’ll like roller blades or inline skates better as mentioned.
Not a criticism of @kitap, but why must we always consult a doctor? The OP made no mention of any health issue, and the activity is not exactly new to the OP.
I say to the OP - go for it, and enjoy! I see a group of women out on our local bike trail on skates and it looks like they are having a great time. Perhaps there is a local group with which you can ease back into it.
Here’s another yes for inline skates.
I had an afterschool job at a bike shop during the early-mid 90s and we started selling and renting inline skates. They were quite expensive to buy then and the rentals were really popular. We also did group lessons for free. It was a great move by the owner since the renting often lead to a purchase.
In my early 50s (late 50s now) attended a church event at the local indoor skating rink. Other older adults, not quite as old as I, were skating. I thought “what the hay” and got a pair of skates. Just like riding a bike, in a few minutes back into my skating groove from 40 years ago. Round and round, forgot how much fun it was. Didn’t do the limbo though. 3 hours of skating.
Woke up the next morning and could not get out of bed, when I did I could not walk. My legs and calves were so tight and ached so bad. Overdid the muscles that hadn’t been worked out in 40 years.
Never again. I’ll get my skating fix by watching the video of Dire Straits “Skate Away”.
All I have to add is thanks a lot for the earworm, darn it.
I was going to post that a co-worker of mine took a tumble a couple weeks ago skating. He chipped a tooth.
But I still say go for it. You know you’re gonna. 
mmm
…but save the triple axel for try #2.
As a kid, my BFF used to skate all the time. I know she competed at some level, I’m sure she wasn’t as skilled as the OP.
Last year she bought a nice pair of inline skates. She promptly fell and broke both wrists. She says that she still thinks about the skates, then looks at the surgery scars on her arms and puts the skates back in the closet.
I wouldn’t interpret their post as saying to consult a doctor. Just that the only reason not to do it is if your doctor told you it was unsafe for you.
Yes, exactly.
Skates??? Go high tech. Segway Powered Roller Blades.
Or you could throw $28K at a pair of 25mph Thundrblades. 
Thanks, everybody, for the insights and comments.
I’m not keen on inline skates. I had a pair some years ago, and they just didn’t feel right. Oh, they worked just fine, and performed as promised, but there was something just … off. In my ice skating days (well, they’ve never really ended, but now, I just enjoy skating around the rink, nothing fancy), a group of friends and I would hit the local roller rink from time to time, rent quad skates–the ones with four wheels in a quad pattern–and I was able to do almost everything I could on ice. My inline skates couldn’t. Kind of like the difference between figure skates and hockey skates, if that makes any sense.
I ended up giving my inline skates away, but at least my inline skating experience made sure that I have the necessary safety equipment now–elbow, knee, wrists, and helmet.
I do want to address this, which made me smile:
Yeah, I was that guy. Back in the 1980s, my then-girlfriend and I would hit the local outdoor ice rink on Friday nights. In winter, of course. She was not a good skater, but she loved it, and I’d be there beside her as she gingerly and slowly made her way around the rink.
Anyway, one night, we changed into our skates and headed out to the rink. One of the rink guards saw my figure skates as we stepped onto the ice. He skated up to us.
“Hey, buddy, no funny stuff, okay?”
“Funny stuff?” I asked.
“Yeah, no jumps or stunts or stuff.”
“Oh, no problem there,” I replied. “But can I ask why you had the need to speak with me?” Note that I was nice and pleasant the whole time.
“Well, you’re wearing figure skates,” he said.
“So are most of the girls on this rink.”
“Yeah, but you’re a guy in figure skates. Guys don’t wear those skates unless they know what they’re doing. You’ve gotta be good at skating!”
My girlfriend and I laughed, and my girlfriend told him that I was there to help her make her way around the rink. We had a pleasant skate that night, and many subsequent Friday nights, and I always got a “Hiya, buddy, nice to see you again” from that rink guard.
I’d go for it. Skating is fun.
Wear padding and a helmet. Never hurts to be safe. 
If the original post had said “I used to like roller skating, should I try roller skating again?”, I think this would have been a shorter thread.
I remember an article about Scott Hamilton’s comeback after cancer.
He mentioned how hard it was to pace himself and not get hurt. His mind knew maneuvers his body wasn’t strong enough to do.
He did recover and rejoined the ice tour.
He’s certainly had a lot of healtb challenges.
I don’t know how old you are, but be aware that there is a point (usually in our 50s) where our bodies just don’t recover as fast (or ever) from spills that we could shake off in a few days in our youth. There are sports (like skiing and surfing) that I’ve had to learn to take slower, and others (like skateboarding and skimboarding) that I’ve had to abandon completely.
Wassamatter? You got something against long threads??
Boy have I ever been finding that out over the last few years! Just zigging when I should have zagged can make me take a spill that can make feel like I’ve been maimed for days, maybe weeks.
It just isn’t worth the risk.
You probably don’t want to take your roller skates to Yellowstone. Because, as we all know, you can’t roller skate in a…well, you know the rest.
