Butt guard

Patented in 1979, the butt guard is one of the most ridiculous inventions of all time. Designed for people in extreme sports like skateboarding and snowboarding, the butt guard is made of shock absorbing plastic and foam that is secured with a belt. Now you don’t have to suffer from butt related injuries, when you wipe out and land on your buttox.

This invention might help you keep your butt bouncy, but no one in the right mind would wear it. This is because the butt guard looks just like a diaper. Now this invention might save you from embarrassment of having a butt cramp, but your friends will surely make fun of you for wearing this diaper look-a-like.

Along with the embarrassing look, this invention is useless. If 50% of extreme sport athletes are too lazy to put on a helmet, then the chances of them wearing a diaper like pad to protect their butt is close to nothing. This leads to another point that why would you need to protect your butt in the first place? Sure shin guards protect you from breaking your shin and the helmet keeps you from being knocked unconscious, but a butt pad will do close to nothing. It’s not like you will break your butt bones unless you fall off a mountain. In that case, you’re probably going to end up close to dead even with all the protection out there. The worst a fall could do would be a couple of bruises on your butt that can heal in no time.

On top of all this, modern twists of this invention cost around ninety dollars. Ninety cold American dollars. You would spend the money better by spending the money on the lottery. This invention is impractical, unstylish, and the inventor should be sued for making such a thing.
