Common Snowboard Injury Can be Reduced

A new snowboard glove and wrist guard have been shown in studies to reduce the most common snowboarding injury on the slopes.

Snowboard Injury Facts:
*Last season, 100,000 wrist fractures occurred to snowboarders worldwide.
*Beginners have a five times higher chance of breaking a wrist than more experienced riders do.
*Conventional wrist guards may actually increase the chance of a serious fracture.

Conceived by snowboard and ski trauma physician Marc-Hervé Binet in France, the Flexmeter Flexible Wrist Guards and Flexible Snowboard Gloves were created by a team of physicians, engineers, and trauma specialists. Studies over three seasons showed a 67% reduction in wrist fractures using the Flexmeter Flexible Wrist Guard, and an 85% reduction using the Flexmeter Flexible Snowboard Gloves.

Flexmeter Flexible Snowboard Wrist Guards and Gloves were awarded the respected BrandNew Award at Munich's ISPO sporting goods trade show in 2003.

Flexmeter products are available online this season for the first time, and are available for shipping now. They come in a full range of sizes to fit all wrists and can be shipped worldwide. The wrist guard is worn under the rider's own gloves. The glove has the wrist guard integrated and stands alone.

Pricing: Wrist Guards - $54 plus shipping.
Gloves - $94 plus shipping.

The Flexmeter products are available online only at http://www.Flexmeters.com.
