Wrist guards are really underrated. I do a bit of onewheeling and almost everyone uses them there. Being able to slide out a fall on your wrists means you can keep vital areas away from impact, without destroting your hands. It also helps keep the arm relaxed on impact, which helps to avoid broken collar bones. Tuck and roll is a vital skill, but there are situations where that's just not possible.
