Title: can you break something
Post by: hey its me on November 14, 2006, 05:41:05 PM: well a was wondering that if you were to fall off, what are the chances of breaking something like bones ect. ???

Post by: Locky on November 14, 2006, 08:12:35 PM: Depends how you fall, how fast you're going, how high you're jumping etc.
It's definately a real danger but you can also break bones from your bike or just running and falling.
Falling down some steps would be disasterous.

I'd imagine a nasty tumble at high speed would result in fairly serious injury.
But it's all fun right? Just make sure you have wrist guards on and a helmet (even if u only wear the helmet when trying new things. It can save ur life).

Post by: JP on November 18, 2006, 02:18:08 AM: Well i reckon u cud break something, especially if u dont have a helmet.........Actually where are the helmets in the 'safety gear' section of the site?? dont u think they should sell mandatory helmets with their springbok legs to prevent injury??

Post by: Locky on November 18, 2006, 12:11:05 PM: It is kinda ironic that they have a photo competition where u win safety gear. Surely this encourages people with no safety gear to go out and take photos without safety gear :/

I'm sure I saw some helmets on the projump site somewhere but no sign of wrist guards.

Post by: EvilFluff on May 13, 2007, 03:08:36 PM: Hi I am new...
Of course this is the first post I read... lol ;D

oh well.. breaking bones options is quite standard (like in other stuff like bike and rollerblades etc..)

better just get good safety gear then.. :D

To quote NO FEAR

Face your fears. Live your dream

It wouldn't be so much fun if it was 100% safe ! ;D
