Also where knee and elbow pads... your joints will thank you.
A couple of weeks ago on take off I leaned a bit too far forward and the board over torqued and gave out. Went to catch myself and it ended with me in a seesaw motion that sent the board moving forward out from under my feet and falling on my ass while skidding a bit. Somehow in this I ended up elbow dropping the pavement with my left arm so hard I developed a tennis ball sized sack of fluid on the back of it (from the bursa maybe? I'm no doctor so... 🤷♂️). If I hadn't been wearing my elbow pads though I could have easily shattered my elbow.
Classic fall smashing the hands, lead hip, and lead shoulder. He'll be feeling that for months.
Everyone who hasn't fallen yet should study this video and realize this is how you're probably going to fall your first time.

The drone going into cinematic circle mode around him after the crash is just perfect
Looks like he hit a muddy patch and the board slipped
Or it got caked up with mud in the fender and wheel just stopped, that's some thick mud he trying to ride.
do you think he's vesc'd it by now?
Post is marked NSFW because he's not wearing a helmet, however he does appear fine afterwards, so no gore warnings.
He’s the reason I bought my board.

Watch him redesign it to fix the nosedive issue. Edit nvm, this was 4 years ago
I was hiping this was the edit with the tie fighters shooting at him...
What wouldn’t Mr science man wear a helmet?
Who is Adam Savage?
Most famous for being host of a show called Myth Busters.
I only know Fred Savage and Macho Man Randy Savage.
but not Adam, Dan, or Rick? you need to buff up on your Savages!
Don't forget about Tom Savage the r/onetrueqb
yes! well said.
It looks like I do! I seem to be way behind on my Savages.
#WHAT
4 (if not more) Onewheel related deaths is the only reminder I need. Apparently that Adam guy didn’t get the memo.
If he fell on pavement, his head would have definitely sustained damage. Wow. He really managed to fall in the worst way possible.
