I wouldn’t use it! They would be better than nothing and might be good enough if you are not doing any stunts but if you are concerned, you should go with a set designed for aggressive skating/skateboarding.
Aggressive pads cover more of your hand and other parts, and are designed to not shift when you hit them hard.
I am primarily a fitness skater and strongly prefer the aggressive gloves over the splint style wrist guards in that set. They cover the sides and back of the hand better and they are more flexible for picking up or holding things.
I rarely wear elbow or knee pads because i think they are uncomfortable.
I have seen people who hit wrong and had knee pads shift. many stitches to put the flap of skin back on the knee.
Yeah, just rollerblade safety gear tends to be a bit more expensive, as it’s designed to let you use your elbows and knees better. Just as safe tho.
Hope this helps

It will provide adequate protection.
There’s a good chance everything won’t fit properly. It’s one size fits most.
