A brake assembly is provided for attaching to the frame of a roller skate. The brake assembly includes a brake head that supports a brake pad and a sensor. The sensor is adapted to identify when the skate has been tipped to one side a predetermined amount. The brake head is movably connected to the frame of the skate by an attachment tab or guide housing. When the skate is tipped to one side, the sensor contacts the ground and moves the brake head with the brake pad towards the wheels. Once the skate has been tipped the predetermined amount, the brake pad is brought into frictional engagement with the wheels. In one embodiment, the brake head moves transversely relative to a longitudinal axis of the skate. In another embodiment, the brake head moves normally relative to the longitudinal axis. In a further embodiment, the sensor does not require physical contact with the skating surface, but instead uses a mercury switch to sense when the skate has been tipped to one side.
