Many works of fiction are set in the right place and right time for it to be cold enough to experience snow, and for lakes, ponds and the like to freeze over. There are also those stories set in and/or near ice-skating rinks. Naturally, either way, one character or another will want to try to ice-skate on such a frozen body—or not, but is peer-pressured into doing so. Fairly straightforward, until the character takes their first step onto the ice. Expect a lot of imbalance, flailing, failing, struggling, shaking, frustration, hilarity and inevitable crashing. It very often ends up with an Epic Fail. For more serious situations, falling on partially-frozen ice pools might lead to a Danger — Thin Ice moment. Note that, despite the name, the character does not have to be ice skating. It happens just as often with roller-skates. When two are involved, it can become a case of Literally Falling in Love. Most likely averted if the story is set in snowy, ice-covered Canada, as kids there are virtually born with ice skates! Compare Epic Fail, Jump Rope Blunders, and Frictionless Ice, as well as the Slippy-Slidey Ice World, where your Player Character is the one liable to have this trope. Contrast On Ice. |

A serious version of this forms a plot point for a major character in Death Parade. Onna/Chiyuki was a professional figure skater who suffered a career-ending injury when her knee shattered in a fall. The depression that ensued afterwards caused her to reevaluate her relationships and goals in life: thinking that she didn't have any other direction, she committed suicide and ended up in the purgatory-esque bar where the story takes place. | |

In Parks and Recreation there's an episode in which Leslie's campaign crew miserably fails at putting on an event for her. April didn't pay attention when she was told that the basketball court they were renting had been used for an ice hockey game recently. Tom decided to buy super-expensive red carpet and didn't have enough money to buy all the carpet he needed. Ron neglected to get a permit for the trailer he was using to transport the materials needed to build the stage, so most of it was confiscated. Add to that only being able to get a brief snippet of their campaign song, a weird sign that only really shows one of Leslie's eyes, and a three-legged dog. It all mashes up beautifully in an iconic scene in which the whole crew slides and stumbles their way through the hockey rink, tries to literally push Leslie onto the stage, only for her to realize she lost most of her speech in the ordeal. | |

In the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal, ice-skating is used as a back-handed punishment by Quirmian Acerian teacher Mlle de Badin-Boucher. Given a gifted but misbehaving pupil to rein in, Antoinette thinks hard about what would be both exquisite punishment and a constructive learning experience for a Rimwards Howondalandian pupil. Her version of the Vimes Run for a difficult student Assassin is to take her to the local ice-skating venuenote Antoinette de Badin-Boucher discovered a place in Ankh-Morpork with a large flat area and sub-zero temperatures. She got into trouble as a student Assassin for breaking into the Pork Futures Warehouse to practice her skating. As a graduate, she approached the PFW's management with a money-spinning idea. Ankh-Morpork therefore got a venue for ice-skating and ice hockey. and to force her to learn to skate to an approved standard. The student in question, from a generally warm part of Howondaland, accepted this was meant to be Hell On Disc and admitted her native country would never be a force at the Hubland Winter Games. | |

Katy Keene Sis has done this, twice on covers. Katy Keene #27◊ and Pin-Up Parade #13.◊ Archie Comics even repeated the joke with Veronica and Archie in a recent digest cover.◊note For some reason, perhaps Rule of Glamorous, each cover includes at least one girl wearing a skating dress trimmed with white fur. In Katy Keene #45, Sis bring a hula hoop on the ice, and while Katy does it fine, poor Sis falls on her butt again. |

Archie Comics: There is a story where Jughead is trying to get his dog Hot Dog to skate with him because he refuses to skate with a girl. The instant Hot Dog gets on the ice, he starts slipping and wobbling around on the ice because he has weak ankles. It's subverted afterwards when Jughead fixes the problem by adding an extra ice skate to Hot Dog's tail, causing Hot Dog to become a skating ace, much to Jughead's chagrin. In another story, Jughead is the one having trouble, and has a pillow tied to his backside for whenever he falls. Ironically, he's skating at the sight of a freestyle ice skating competition, and wins first prize when all of the other, better skaters crash into each other because they weren't paying attention. One issue just showed Betty fallen on the ice as a pinup.◊ |

FoxTrot: In one strip, Jason tries to rollerskate, but rolls down a hill and into a yard with a sign that says "Beware of Dog." Paige, naturally, enjoys this. Jason is seen flailing and thrashing around on his ice skates before grabbing the wall for support. He then says that if he's that bad on the rubber mats, going on the actual ice should be interesting. Jason gets hit with the short end of the stick again when Eileen invites him to go ice skating. He falls down twice. |

Invoked in an issue of Spider-Man. Peter and Mary Jane are out ice skating with (whom he thought were) Peter's returned parents. Thanks to his powers, he can skate perfectly, but MJ warns him that he could accidentally tip people off to who he is, so he purposely falls over to throw them off. | |

Postman Pat tries roller skates in "Pat takes a message", and ice skates in "Letters on Ice". He does well on the ice skates, but ends up diving over a fence on the roller skates. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Winter Wrap-Up", Twilight tries to help score the ice so it will melt, but is so terrible at it that she quickly loses control and crashes into Pinkie Pie and Spike, who all then end up as a pony snowman. | |

The first chapter of Bring Me Back Home has a long sequence with Marinette trying ice skating and getting some instruction from Adrien, followed by Ladybug agreeing to try it at Chat Noir's suggestion (neither mention to the other that they were at the same rink earlier that day). Marinette isn't very good at it, thanks to her usual klutziness, but Ladybug at least manages a lap without falling over. | |

An episode of the '90s anime adaptation of Sailor Moon centers the villain plot du jour around an ice skating rink. Perennially clumsy Usagi has a lot of difficulty skating, although she gets the hang of it very quickly when it comes time to actually doing battle on the ice (implied to be a case of Sailor Moon tapping into her past life's ice-skating abilities, which are said to have been remarkable). | |

In the second SPY Fox game, the titular character needs to perform an ice skating move to get a rose for an NPC. He slides around in a weak series of movements when trying to skate on his own, and has to find a diagram of the winning move to insert into his ice skates to perform it. | |

A slight variation on How I Met Your Mother in which Ted stated he had taken skating lessons when Barney changes his and Robin's rehearsal dinner to a Canadian themed ice skating rink. He falls within his first loop around the rink. | |

Fallen London: Expect to raise your Wounds significantly merely moving from place to place if you've made it to the Hurlers without being prepared. Since icy temperatures are scarce in the Neath and near-impossible to find in London, you are likely to take many, many injurious tumbles if the frostbite doesn't get you first. | |
