Summary

Description
English: Snowboard gloves with integrated wrist protection. The left glove is partly dismantled to show the removable rigid plastic element which is in a pouch on the back of the hand/glove. The ca. 15 cm long and 3 cm wide, quite rigid plastic element is in a pouch on the back of the hand. With the velcro strap, this element is tightly fixated to the wrist, such that the wrist has a reduced freedom to be bent upwards - in this way, the wearer is protected against one of the most common injuries while snowboarding, which happens when the boarder falls to the front and tries to dampen the impact by falling on his hands. As the human wrists are not designed by nature to withstand such high forces in this manner, they may consequently break under unlucky circumstances. The producer of the gloves (bought c. 2004, thus about 20 years old at the time of this video) is Reusch, the model name includes "Ortho-Tec".
Deutsch: Snowboardhandschuhe mit integriertem Handgelenkschutz. Der linke Handschuh ist teilweise zerlegt, um das entnehmbare starre Kunststoffelement zu zeigen, das sich in einer Tasche auf dem Hand-/Handschuhrücken befindet. Das ca. 15 cm lange und 3 cm breite, recht steife Kunststoffelement befindet sich in einer Tasche auf dem Handrücken. Mit einem breiten Band-Klettverschluss wird dieses Element fest auf den Handrücken gedrückt, so dass das Handgelenk nur eine eingeschränkte Bewegungsfreiheit nach oben hat. So wird der Träger vor einer der häufigsten Verletzungen beim Snowboarden geschützt, wenn er nach vorne fällt und versucht den Aufprall mit den Händen abzufangen. Da die Handgelenke von Natur aus nicht darauf ausgelegt sind, solch hohen Kräften standzuhalten, können sie unter diesen Umständen verletzt werden oder sogar brechen. Der Hersteller der Handschuhe (ca. 2004 gekauft, also zum Zeitpunkt dieses Videos etwa 20 Jahre alt) ist Reusch, der Modellname enthält „Ortho-Tec“.
