Why not? I think it's a great idea!
I've gone whitewater rafting with more people with disabilities than I can count offhand, and the same organization that sponsored it routinely takes people snowshoeing, canoeing, cross-country skiing, and rock climbing, regardless of their individual challenges.
If anyone wants to go ice-skating, there's no reason in the world they couldn't be accommodated, and I'd be the first to contribute.

I am not against people with disabilities participating in sports. In high school I used to volunteer in special olympics and adaptive P.E<phys ed for the physically disabled [pun intended, they had such a great sense of humor about that'] and we did stuff that they were able to handle.
I may have been absent on extreme sports day, but somehow, I doubt it. Anywho, you tell me how ice skating with physically disabled, para and quadriplegic people would work--how would it be handled? What would it look like? What if someone gets hurt===how would they have handled that as well?
How do people confined to wheelchairs ice skate?

I don't skate myself, so I couldn't give you specifics, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility out-of-hand. Granted, some disabilities might be easier to accommodate than others.
