> Ice skating is impossible with just one leg ...

Not true, it's just a little more difficult because it requires better balance. You can fairly easily do a swizzle on one foot shifting from your inside edge to your outside edge, similar to how a boat would tack. Yes, the blade of skate is acting similar to a keel, but no, you don't need two legs to feel the effect.
