This Feature Could Save Your Wrist

Over the years, I have seen many motorcycle accidents come through the Emergency Room. One of the most common injuries is to the rider's hands.

During a crash, our natural instinct is to extend our hand to brace our fall. If you aren't wearing proper hand protection, this can set you up for some serious injuries.

I always look for gloves with a palm slider - a small plastic insert on the outer palm. If you wear gloves without a palm slider, your hand will make contact with the ground and stick, transmitting all the force into your wrist at once.

A palm slider allows your hand to slide, extending the force over a longer distance. If you have a choice, look for gloves that come with a palm slider.
