Industrial Anti-Vibration Gear for Extreme Recreational Enthusiasts

My generation didn’t grow up with hover boards, rip sticks or fancy in-line skates but rather roller skates, skate boards and BMX bicycles. As kids seeking an adrenaline rush, we would gather our bikes, skates, boards and a tow rope. We would then tie the rope to the bike where the biker would pedal one of us along the road on a skateboard or pair of roller skates until the person that was towed fell. The person who lasted the longest was then declared the winner.

Here's the deal. Asphalt or black top surfaces are very rough and bumpy and when one is dragged over it, heavy vibrations result. These vibrations quickly create a numbing or severe tingling effect along the feet that works its way up the calves. Eventually this effect causes one to lose sensation and ultimately self-control which often resulted in a wipe out.

Back then, we didn’t have protective gear to prevent scrapes, bumps, impacts or vibrations available for us to wear. More often than not, the end result was typically a skin on pavement injury leaving one with severe scrapes along the palms, shins and knees that stung for many days and resulted in permanent scarring!

Fortunately today’s recreational enthusiasts have a variety of retail personal safety options such as padded anti-impact gloves, helmets and body padding designed to help offset injuries related to falls, vibrations and strains.

While most protective gear is designed more for consumer recreational purposes, we have a line of commercial protective gear designed for heavy-duty industrial tasks available for purchase.
