Help Prevent Broken Wrists! 
NEW PRODUCT DESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT TRAUMA FOR SKATEBOARDERS and SNOWBOARDERS Scientifically designed wrist guards help prevent most common injury “Wrist injury is the number one skateboard injury, usually a sprain or a fracture. Skateboarders who have been skating for less than a week suffered one-third of the injuries” says the National Safety Council
Wrist Injury is also the number one snowboard injury, with over 100,000 snowboard wrist injuries per year worldwide. Beginners have 4 times the chance of breaking a wrist as more experienced riders.
Flexmeter is a wrist guard designed by a trauma specialist doctor who is committed to providing scientifically developed gloves and sports wrist guards to help prevent wrist injuries. Similar to all Flexmeter products, the new Flexmeter All-Season Wrist Guard is the only wrist guard developed by a doctor and with statistically proven results, to help prevent hyperextension (bending too far) which is the most common type of skateboard and snowboard wrist injury. “There are over 100,000 wrist fractures caused by snowboard accidents, and 15,000 U.S. skateboard emergency room visits annually” notes Dr. Marc-Hervé Binet of France, developer and founder of Flexmeter products. “We are always working to offer new Flexmeter products to allow the skaters and snowboarders to feel safe while doing what they love.” The patented Flexmeter splint is the only wrist protection on the market that flexes at the wrist joint, to absorb shock and disperse initial impact loads up the forearm. It was created in conjunction with DuPont, of Hytrel thermoplastic. Flexmeter recently won a “BrandNew” award at the world’s largest snowboard trade show, ISPO, in Munich, Germany. The Flexmeter All-Season Wrist Guard offers the patented flexible dorsal splint protection, to be worn on the knuckle side of the hand and arm, like all other Flexmeter products. It has the addition of a light palm-side splint and a removable Slide Guard for warm weather sliding sports such as skateboarding, and in-line skating, where gloves are not worn. It can be worn under a glove for snowboarding. The Flexmeter All-Season Wrist Guard retails for $69 online, and includes shipping to US and APO addresses. It can be sent to most countries. It is available in America only at www.Flexmeters.com . A 2-year study has shown the effectiveness of Flexmeter in reducing the risk of fractures. Wrist injuries were reduced by 67% in a group of snowboarders wearing Flexmeter protectors, compared to a group wearing no protection.
