Crash pads for bottom of butt

[jjane45]

If you found skatingsafe too expensive and don't mind a bit drawing and cutting, there is an DIY option.

One piece of 18" x 18" 1/4" acton polymer covers hips/knees/elbows/tailbone/back of head for me, and is $59 + shipping here or on amazon.

Thank you everyone for all your useful information.  (And thank you to Janie for sharing your thread.)   

For anybody thinking of getting the Skating Safe pads, the best price I found was $34.99 per hip pad (or knee pad) at jenskates.com.  If you order $100 or more, shipping is free.  (Caveat:  You have to pay attention to select the free shipping option at the final stage of the check out.)

Thanks again everybody.  It is great to be part of such a helpful community. 

No problem It wouldn't have meant much without everyone's really helpful contribution! Thanks for joining in on the discussion, platyhiker!

Ah I was silly and didn't think anyone else sold Skating safe pads besides their own website, so didn't think to shop around I already paid the more expensive price and shipping. Oh well, it better get here soon! Anyone else buying new pads, pay attention to the nice tip!
