I am on several Groups on FB and about once a week some poor SOB posts a shattered elbow/wrist/knee xray photo and begs everyone to stop being cool and gear the #### up. There's zero chance I'd even consider getting back into skating lately without it. Fall a few times with no gear on concrete and you too would be googling the #### out of every safety and anit-breakage device you can get your hands on.I wear the spenders so I can wear loose baggy shorts without hiking them up every 30 seconds.Example posts:Elbow pads?

Just broke my 2nd wrist almost a year to the day after I did  my first one. Other hand of course. Was only wearing a guard on the one  I'd broken. Too cool for school I guess. Learning the hard way. Wrist guard was in the bag. What a dummy. Completely preventable. <img src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v5/fc/1/16/1f620.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-0/p296x100/14690897_10210640763273456_7704826725259744984_n.jpg?oh=4aef513db3aca32ad84613f01e813cc2&oe=58876CB8" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[h=5]<a href="https://www.facebook.com/duncan.booth?fref=nf" target="_blank">Duncan Booth</a>[/h]November 2 at 8:53pm · <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Perth-Australia/108252552529332" target="_blank">Perth, WA, Australia</a>49.  Perth Western Australia. Siting here left wrist in a cast fractured.  Right wrist very badly sprained maybe worse will find out on Fri. Right  elbow fractured into the joint 2mm step down on the joint surface. MRI  and CT this morning. Another MRI tomorrow. These happened in one fall  about 10 weeks ago. Pretty low speed hit stick board stopped I didn't.  Landed very heavily on out stretched hands.  I always wear a helmet. But now I always wear wrist guards and elbows as well.  Seeing the Orthopaedic Surgeon on Fri. Feeling really old in body but keen as mustard in the head.    Only found out about the fractures last week after X-rays. In ER X-rays  were done on wrists didn't show anything broken. Elbow wasn't X-rayed  in ER. Feeling old and broken, but looking forward to getting back out  there in a full suit of armour looking out for little bits of detritus  when I'm moving at slower speeds.<img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14196163_10210275477901312_6372245667433163273_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14095746_10154536446417835_6960401561544443464_n.jpg?oh=e2614f85d271b7c31cd636df57806122&oe=58C4140C" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[h=5]<a href="https://www.facebook.com/714RORER714" target="_blank">David Lober</a> shared <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scotty.senatore" target="_blank">Scotty Senatore</a>'s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scotty.senatore/posts/948150825300165" target="_blank">post</a>.[/h]<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank">May 14</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank">Swellbow!</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank">[URL="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=948150231966891&set=a.229448160503772.50600.100003157690941&type=3"]<img src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p480x480/13177226_948150231966891_4670998496535829560_n.jpg?oh=82bb0b525e0971194f024c1b4fe1c65c&oe=58D3910D" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/skatersover50/permalink/923608007748566/?match=aW5qdXJ5" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/scotty.senatore" target="_blank">Scotty Senatore</a> with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mynameisa.pseudonym" target="_blank">Axiom Emissary</a>.[/URL]- - - Updated - - -many many more where those came from - yeesh!
