I am gonna laugh too.
I cant see the point in not wearing pads and stuff. You dont look stupid with them on. If you are stupid like me, take your bocks off, leave your shoes in them and run into tescos padded up you look a bit of a donkey lol.
But really. You are not invincible.
If you get good stuff it really doesnt matter that you wear it. If its comfy then what does it matter?
I fell over on my butt the other day (slippy floor) My bum took most of the punishment lol but I also hit my head and slid on my elbows. Lucky I had pads on and a skid lid too!
benifits to wearing pads:
Wristguards:stops you breaking your wrist
Elbow pads: Stops you scraping your elbow and hitting your funny bone on random stuff hehe
Knee pads:can kneel on the floor in comfort and fills a gap making bocks feel more secure (and stops you smashing up your knee)
Skid lid: If you get a bright green one you look like a ninja turtle, keeps your head warm and hair dry in winter months and the obvious stuff
Armour: Keeps you lovely and warm in winter months, if you fall you can roll in ball and slide, and if you are learning to get up and always end up on your back helps too
