The Equipment Page Almost all skate manufacturers make safety equipment. For people just starting out we recommend full pads (wrist, elbow, and knee) plus a helmet. It's an investment in the beginning but compared to a nasty case of road rash it's really a small price to pay. Falling is a fact of life. You will fall down... Don't let it get you down.
