I lowsided at MSRH last month and broke a tendon in my finger, got what's called "mallet finger", needed surgery and still in a splint for 8 weeks which almost took me out for the season. I was very lucky nothing else broke. Simple injury, but expensive and long recovery.
Question for the racers, do you use anything else other than gloves to protect your hands? I was thinking like how boxers tape their fingers/wrists. I've also heard to make fists when you crash and hold your arms to your chest.
On the topic of hands, time for new gloves. What are recommendations on the best protective gloves? Prefer safety vs. feel at this point.
thanks,
Jason
