I have been asked a question about whether wrist guards give any protection from
falls while rollerskiing? I don't really know the answer but was giving this
link to a study done with snowboarders:

http://www.ski-injury.com/prevention/wrist_guards

The person asking fractured their wrist rollerskiing & is wanting to start
again. I assume the wrist guards would hinder holding poles. If they are useful
what type is best? Would learning to fall, i.e. not extending your arm, be a
better option?

Any comments would be appreciated.
