ABSTRACT:
The snowboarding wrist protection device described contains a grip having a generally cylindrical body around which a snowboarder's hand clenches to make a fist. The forward edge of the grip may contain ridges and the back edge of the grip may be convex to aid the snowboarder in holding the protection device. Additionally, the top and bottom portions of the grip may extend outwardly from the hand held portion of the grip to further aid secure holding of the device. In the event of a fall, the snowboarder's hand remains clenched around the protection device. As such, the hands and fingers are precluded from being outstretched and are therefore not subject to reverse extension injury.
