X-treme Sports Safety

There has been an explosion in the participation in X-extreme Sports, especially since they were introduction into the Olympic X Games. The most popular X-extreme sports are: inline skating, BMX biking, motocross, skateboarding, snowboarding, rock climbing, skydiving, snow/water skiing, jet skiing, paint ball and many others.

These activities are riskier and more dangerous than the traditional sports and it is for this reason that the StingFree Technologies Company is designing very sophisticated products to help take the “X-treme Sting” out of these exciting sports.

Safety Precautions

It is very important to take safety precautions before participating in X-extreme sports or any sport. These precautions include: the appropriate training, proper supervision, a safe location and above-all the appropriate safety gear. Participants in traditional sports are usually equipped with appropriate protective gear and state of the art equipment and the X-treme sports enthusiast should follow in suit. Be as well prepared

Injuries can result from participation in extreme sport and traditional sports, even if all precautions are followed.

Acute injuries are those that result from an immediate trauma while long term or chronic injuries occur from overuse or constant shock and vibrational trauma. Acute injuries will include but not limited to; head and eye trauma, sprains, tooth loss, fractures, cuts, and bruising while the chronic injuries will include but not limited to; stress fractures, tendonitis, bursitis, neuritis and boney joint damage.

The basic safety equipment should include; helmets, eye protection, elbow pads, kneepads, padded clothing and wrist guards and the appropriate footwear.


StingFree TC has been researching & developing many new state of the art anti-impact and anti-vibrational products to aid the X-Treme sports enthusiast to stay safe and healthy while having fun with these new intense sports.

Long term

The medical consequences of over-use trauma, long-term and multiple short-term exposures, of the body to impact and vibrational energy, have been show to be deleterious to one’s entire body, as well as to specific areas and joints like; the feet, ankles, knees, hands, wrist, elbows and shoulders

As a physical phenomenon, vibrations can be defined as mechanical oscillation. The biological effects of vibration are becoming increasingly important to the medical community. The biological effects of vibration are determined by the frequency, the amplitude, the duration, the environmental conditions and the bodies’ sensitivity to the irrational frequency. Frequency determines which tissues might be damage. The deleterious effects of vibration usually occur between 2.8 -- to 2800Hz.

Individuals differ but the duration and conditions of the exposure, such as holding the bat or tool too tightly, appears to be important to vibration injuries.
