Thus, protective gear is necessary, particularly in the wrist area, which is commonly neglected. Purpose: This research was conducted with beginner skateboarders as the subject. In order to reduce the risk of damage, protective gloves should be designed to shield the wrist from harm from falling. Method: Literature research method and market research method were used to study the fall injury situation of beginner skateboardrs and the mechanism of fall. Findings: Beginner’s wrists (67.66%) are the most vulnerable and neglected part being protected, because of the body’s inertia and physiological reactions, skateboarders unintentionally use their hand’s palm to hold onto the ground that can lead to a distal radius fracture. Conclusion: In view of the above, this paper aim to design a kind of protective gloves to prevent skateboarding injuries, combines skateboarding gloves with protective airbags in the form of intelligent braking system, creates several sets of appearance programs for questionnaire surveys, design to meet the current trends in fashion while ensuring safety and protection, and to provide some guidance on the future of skateboarding sportswear.
