Should Snowboarders Wear Wrist Guards? - from Squidoo

Should Snowboarders Wear Wrist Guards? 

Excerpts from Squidoo:

From the Scottish Snow Sports Safety Study:
* 25% of all snowboard injuries affect the wrist joint
* 70% of all wrist injuries were fractures (broken bones)
* Estimated 95,000 wrist fractures each year among snowboarders worldwide.

From the Colorado Snowboard Injury Survey:
* snowboarders wearing wrist guards are half as likely to injure their wrists as snowboarders not wearing guards.

Read testimonials from our happy Flexmeter customers here, including this one from Doug who says

"These are the only wrist guards that I trust, and I will not ride without them." 

We have Doug's X-rays of his two broken wrists sustained in a snowboard crash while wearing another brand of wrist guard before he found Flexmeters, and unfortunately he has two titanium plates, and 26 screws to show for it.
