Recently, the US consumer Product Safety Commission announced that more than 15,600 people needed hospital treatment in the US each year for accidents related to skateboarding. It seems the main reason for skateboarding accidents is down to obstructions and non-regular riding surfaces.

Wrist injuries are the main results of accidents as are fractures and sprains, all of which reduce levels of mobility. Using protective skateboarding gear is the best way to avoid injuries. A helmet is one of the best ways to protect yourself when skating. There are many forms of protective clothing available.
