wrists should NOT be breaking...

I don't think anyone would disagree with you that it shouldn't happen, but it does. When I broke mine, it was a slushy day and a caught a nasty edge. Yep, that's all I remember. When I came back into consciousness 30 seconds later I was on my face with a broken wrist. There was no lucid moment to remind myself to fall properly or make a fist...

exactly...sometimes things happen so fast you're just reactionary...you dont have time to think of how you can save your wrists..

the better i got, the faster i went. the faster i went, the less time i had to react when i fell.

Yep, and usually the harder you fall too. I'm retarded for NOT wearing wrist guards, considering I broke mine about 15 years ago in Quebec. When I got my girlfriend into the sport two years ago they were the first things I suggested she buy. Can't take my own advice = break my wrist(s) again someday...

hey just looking at the wrist guard thing.
i broke my wrist a couple of seasons ago. wearing wrist guards that were supposedly the best thing to wear.
I know a dude in the emergency room said that if your going to fall hard enough to snap a bone its gonna break regardless. the irony is that i wasnt wearing a guard on my other hand cause i couldnt be bothered getting it under the glove that morning
