I had an almost identical situation, on roller boots (not blades) big hill approx 1 in 4, for 1000 yards, half way down legs went numb with the vibration, hitting nearly 50 plus MPH, to find a big wooden farm gate was closed (normally open)at the bottom.

my brown trouser moment was'nt anticipation of hitting the gate at such speed, but seeing the damage i,d done to my right knee cap, once i,d finished bouncing off it.

off to A+E i went

i think maybe just a little bit crept out,
