If you are in conflict with his head without a helmet can get a concussion sustained brain damage and even death. Why risk your life, not wear helmet? Even skateboarders who have years or even decades of experience driving, always use a helmet.

Knees and elbows – What is wrong with a pair of knees and elbows magullados right? You can even consider such injuries as “battle scars”. Unfortunately, although it may seem only minor bruises on the surface, you can do permanent damage to your joints. Fall on your knees without knee joint may cause swelling and rupture. Lesions in the elbow may include fractures and dislocations.

Wristbands – You do not think bands are an essential part of safety equipment, wrist fractures, but are very common skate injuries. Imagine not being able to do simple things like writing, or a fork, because you do not want to use wristbands.

Suitable footwear – moccasin, dress shoes, slippers and shoes with open toes or open backs are not the best options for skate. You must use tennis shoes with good quality skate shoes and even companies like Vansa, DC Shoes, ethnicity, etc. Remember to keep your laces tied and hold cycle zakrivkata too far in the shoes because they do not trip.

Safety equipment may include an optional skate Athletic cup for boys, and “turtle shell” bra style cups for women. For each type in the implementation of plans that include rail grinding tricks (or other solid surface that can easily be reduced to a straddle position) we recommend using glass for obvious reasons. If you are a woman who loves to make friends Skatepark, you might consider using the bra cups to protect themselves not harmful if you fall forward too.
