Title: Knee pads.
Post by: rawrk on February 09, 2010, 12:02:39 PM

I've fallen over twice since I got my stilts (last Tues) and my one of my kneepads has cracked right down the middle and off to the side. I'm slightly confused because I fell over loads of times on someone elses pads and they didn't break.

Anywho, can duct tape fix it, or do I need to buy some more? >.<

I can post a picture later.

bit of both really. If you're still likely to fall then i would suggest replacing them.

You should definitely replace them.  Pads absorb shock by deforming, sometimes they deform to the point of breaking, just be glad the pad broke and your kneecap didn't.
