Latest rage for bone strength is doing one-legged jumps. I can do that, but have to hold on to something. Running upstairs is easier so maybe not as good? When aged folk fall, the usual thing to break is the femoral neck.
You must have exemplary circulation! How does that passing out happen?

I would be thinking of lashing together a pair of mattresses or cushions of closed-cell foam on each side of the rollers! Or maybe secure the roller rack to the wall on one side and a cushion on the other side. I also think of the heavy wrestling mats we used to set up in high school gym class. Like Dojo practice, the students learn to be safe by setting up the equipment!
