[QUOTE="sandflyz, post: 1048027, member: 57556"] Maby you answered your own question. Let the kid decide. After reading these threads over and over again and not being able to come to a conclusion, i bought a pair of cells myself. I feel that in at least 6 out of 10 instances, i would be better off in the cells. I have never broken a knee, but have twisted one pretty hard skiing once. I couldn't believe how much it hurt. I broke 3 fingers a few months ago on my dirtbike and although it hurt, it was nothing like the way my knee hurt when i twisted it. In fact after i broke my fingers i hung around and BS'd with the guys for half an hour before leaving the track to go home. Before this i hac never broken a bone in my life, i had just twisted my knee skiing. I diden't think my hand was broke because my knee injury while skiing was a whole other level of pain and nothing was broken. While talking to the doctor about my knee i asked how it could hurt so much and not be broken. He replied that soft tissue damage to the ligaments could actually be more painful than a brake as thats where the nerves are. Anyway, I feel the braces inspire confidence, weather false or not, and more often than not will help to reduce injury than to promote it. I think the type of riding we do is another factor in the potential for injury. Combined with the history of our injuries as well as age, and physical conditioning. All these things play a role. Personaly i think, although i'm not sure, that i would rather be hurt wearing the braces, than not. Anyway, thats just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
