Rollerblade knee pads

Knee pads

— knee and upper shin protection that absorbs impact and allows the knee to "slide" on surfaces without getting scrapes or bruises. This is one of the most useful items for roller skates and scooters because when balance is lost, many people instinctively fall on their knees, and without protection can quickly sustain a painful injury. The design is usually similar to elbow pads: a hard cup or dense insert plus a cushioning layer and straps/sleeve, with the key point being that the knee pad doesn’t slip down during squats and doesn’t restrict movement. Typical uses include learning to roller skate, performing tricks on a scooter, and cycling on uneven terrain where slips on dirt and rocks are possible.
