First and foremost, safety gear is not an option. And safety gear should be purchased new to ensure that is had not been compromised by previous use. No one can afford to overlook quality in this area of equipment. Especially for outdoor inline skating activities. Please remember, it is very important to wear all of the pieces of gear listed below to get adequate protection.
Choose good quality protective gear:
- An ANSI, ASTM, or Snell approved helmet should fit the head and have working straps.
- Knee pads should be the right size and securely fastened.
- Elbow pads are needed for protection during a fall to either side.
- Wrist protectors with hard plastic linings are needed in case either wrist contacts the pavement during a fall.
