Patinaje, Deporte y Diversión con Protección./ Skating, Sport and Fun with Protection.

A pleasure to greet all of you, dear fellow Hive members, today we will talk about the importance of using protection when practicing this sport as fun and entertaining as it is Skating.

These implements that we will be talking about today are: helmets, elbow pads, wrist guards and knee pads.

The helmet is of great importance since it will protect the head from injuries that may occur in a hard fall, reducing the risk of death and serious injuries, for which it is important that the helmet is well worn and does not move from its place.

Wrist straps will help in case of falls and put the hands in, so that we do not suffer scratches on the soles of the hands and very important that the wrist is supported and prevent it from bending backwards and a fracture occurs.

In the case of elbow and knee pads, these should be hard to avoid scratches and possible fractures.

These implements are of great importance when starting in this sport and more if it is children. However, we must use them at all times, even if it is someone professional, since accidents can always happen and in this way we will be avoiding injuries.
