After putting myself out of action for weeks - and gaining a few stitches - by overcooking/underskilling a berm at Heia, I am seriously looking at buying something like this.

 

A tiny but sharp stone sliced open my knee during a relatively innocuous fall, which would've been prevented by any type of knee protection.

 

To put the price in perspective, the kneepads are cheaper than a single visit to your local ER (and that's excluding antibiotics; tetanus and/or pain meds).
