Difference between revisions of "Safety"

Risks of serious injury or death exists while using a Onewheel. Always ride with caution!

Helmets

Always ride with a helmet on. Skateboard helmets are a good option for low-speed impacts. Moto helmets can offer better protection, especially at higher speeds and on roads.

Helmets that prevent you from easily looking at your feet should be avoided.

Glasses or Visor

Dust or insects in your eyes at high speed can easily cause a fall resulting in serious injury. As such, eyes protection is recommended.

Protection pads

Wrist guards and Gloves

I like Pearl Izumi Men's Thermal Conductive Glove ($14) because they're thin, wind resistant, and work on touch screens.

Clothing

Shoes

Generally speaking, flat soled shoes are best. Nike SB is a great brand, as well as any other skate shoe.
