Skateboarding protection ----> protection for sex. This is sad. I'm sure this is not what Sephires was looking for when he started this thread, so STOP IT!

I'm sure it's fun, but skateboarders run the risk of injury. Oh well, this is an inherent "flip side of the coin" to most sports.

Do you wear knee pads or shoulder pads? I don't think that these help much because when push comes to shove, a hard piece of plastic is only going to prevent an ugly scrap. They transmit the force from the impact virtually undiminished (but to only a slightly larger surface area) to the shoulder or knee. Plus they're quite expensive considering their function.

Helmets are important though because they provide padding for the brain. And with a messed brain, we wouldn't and couldn't participate in these forums anymore, could we?

errr......... you cant wear paddding on your ankles/feet. and most injuries dont come because we dont wear helmets or pads (i hate wearing pads and helmets).

I'm just happy to be able to stand on a skateboard and go forward. Then again, i guess i do that on escalators as well, so the difficulty level for my skateboarding escapades isn't all that high, is it? my only skateboarding accident to date is a broken thumb, and that's been healed up a while, so... *slinks off*

Damn, hope you get better. I had a skateboard once, I didn't really use it much.

Helmets and pads don't stop twisted ankles anyway.

Random, your sig doesn't show. It's about time someone told you.
