I had a pair of these when I was a kid . I think that my brothers also had them . None of us ever broke any bones . There were a lot of fun . I also had the clamp on roller skates . We also never wore helmets , or knee or arm pads . We got through it just fine . LoL !!!! My brothers and I never broke any bones . I did break my arm once when I was much older .
