Default anyone riding with wrist protection?

hello,

i was wondering of there was any wrist protection available that allowed to ride the bike?
just in case you get flipped over the handle bars and you still try to hang on and try to save it.
in that case you could over twist your wrists, that's why i'd like to find something that kept my wrists from overstretching to the front, like bend towards the ground.

thanks, Hannes.

I wear these after I broke my wrist last year:

Wrist was still very weak after physio and these gave me the confidence to start riding again. Honestly don't know if they would prevent a break.
In my case if my wrist hadn't broken, it probably would have been something else further up my arm anyway.

I haven't found them restrictive. Don't really notice I'm wearing them.
