I seem to land hard on my knees whenever fall. I am giving serious thought to wearing knee pads. At least one for my right knee.

What do YOU tend to hit the most?

I would have to say my right wrist and both elbows. When I fall, I start to put my hands down, but remember that it is a bad idea. I end up banging my elbows as a result.
I have been lucky so far with only a few bumps and bruises. I keep my speed down, so most of my falls are from tripping and tangling.

I have had minor sprains to my right wrist a few times. I wear wrist guards all the time now.
I seem to have moved on to elbows. Mainly my left. I have hit it hard enough to make it swell up twice, now. I am thinking about getting some elbow pads. Maybe the ones without the big plastic cups. Just something to absorb some of the shock, but not be hideous the rest of the time.

Right knee and alternately, the left knee. Very occasionally, a wrist and once I had a fantastic melon sized bruise on my backside. Oh yeah, and there was that bout of cast time with the sprained ankle last summer. Sheesh. I'm a wreck.

My knees! Always my knees! Well right bellow my knee. Not always from falling, I rarely ever fall on my knees, but just from practicing floor stuff. They get so dang swollen. Sad

For your viewing pleasure I give you.... "Not Knee" LOL

Now that I wear wrist guards, My elbows are next in line.

Big 'ol knot on my elbow.

This is one long bruise that migrated from my elbow down my forearm.

Yikes! That's what my ankle looked like when I had that nasty sprain. It's still not quite right. Take of those knees and that elbow, you two.
