Another woman at my rink did the same thing two years earlier. My point is that I had a world class wrist surgeon and he was able to let me know that I had more than enough force to break the wrist. It was the force of impact pure and simple. BTW, I just got Protec and found that they have a dual plate, top and bottom. Some pages warn the dual plate can cause injury.Ali Ice Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238070204348773254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-72611163552444916882012-02-14T20:18:36.186-05:002012-02-14T20:18:36.186-05:00I'm getting back to skating after about 30 yea...I'm getting back to skating after about 30 years off (at age 40) and went to the rink yesterday to dip my pinkie toe in the water. After falling snowboarding 2 years ago and bruising a bone, you bet I wore wrist guards!

Even if they don't always protect against absolute breaks, wrist guards with the palm metal (not sure what to call that) would have prevented the two enormous goose eggs that swelled up where I hit. That stunk pretty bad, too.josetteplank.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790825543155685363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-77892983158182504642011-11-26T22:14:27.598-05:002011-11-26T22:14:27.598-05:00I use these ones after breaking my wrist dong moha...I use these ones after breaking my wrist dong mohawks<br />http://www.alpsgear.co.uk/flexmeter-wrist-guards/10-flexmeter-wrist-guards-plus.html<br />They allow me reasonable wrist movement whle also protecting my wrist so far.

I know for sure that they have saved me at least two serious wrist injuries in the last year, as both were falls so hard that my head hurt, even though I didn't hit my head on the ice. I NEVER skate without them, though I suppose I will remove them for a test or competition or performance-type thing once I get to that point.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.com
