gloves are no where near as important as helmets, but yes.

Benbro is of the theory that wearing gloves will help keep your head off the ground in an accident and believes tey are as important as the lid. Not a silly theory.

Someday, you will end up like him.

"I grabbed my board and Artie’s leash. The brown dog had some energy. Just moments after leaving the house, he was pulling me at full speed on the rough and rutted pavement. The wheels didn’t seem to be gripping. I had speed wobbles. That day, construction trucks and a Bobcat cluttered the street. They were tearing up asphalt to replace water mains. I directed Artie toward the sidewalk.

Artie was again running at full speed. I crouched to steady myself. Fifty feet from my house, my wheels stopped at a crack. I didn’t. Flying through the air, I looked at my right hand clutching the leash. That was my last memory before the right side of my forehead met the pavement."

The story is here

I think the same as Benbro, if there was only once piece of safty gear I could wear, gloves would be there, but the helmet is god damn important, just incase that theory goes to shit that one time.

 

I read that story a while back, made a shiver go down my spine.
