Does wrist guards also include "skid pad" which covers the palm of the hand?

There's a hard piece of plastic that goes from the end of your forearm to the bottom of the palm of your hand. It's there to prevent wrist breakage though. If your looking to do hands down slides this will not serve that purpose. You would need slide gloves.

it is both. The palm is cushioned with tiny beads. You cannot bend your wrist wearing this splint.

It does, just make sure to use the rubber glove under it, you will get orange palms if you don't

Yes, although it on the small size. It is big enough to do the job unless you also use a wrist support pad.

Yes. Your palm lies on a pad inside the support and keeps the fingers straight out to the first finger joint.

Can be above the wrist. The short leathers should be palm side and the suede side should cover the back of your hand. I stretch the elastic when I am putting the glove on so that I can fasten it just below the wrist, but it always slides into position above my wrist when I flex my hand. If you find your wrist gets irritated by the constriction, loosen the Velcro a little!

Oddly, enough, try cutting a thumb hole and the top off a small sock in a way where the sock is just beyond the outside of the wrist brace so no part of the wrist brace is actually touching your skin. This will allow extra padding on the palm and avoid irritating the skin. This also allows for a methol rub to be applied to the wrist without gunking up the brace. Worked for me

I imagine so. It doesn't cover the hand. It's for my grand-child who lives 3000 miles away, so I can't actually verify.

Yes, the finger grooves are on both sides of the handle. It doesn't feel bad against the palm, but it takes a little getting used to.

No. The gloves are form fitting and snug around the wrist to prevent any dirt from getting in.

These gloves are designed to prevent spraining your wrist. Your thumbs are not restricted so they could, depending how you fall get 'pulled back'. They are covered part way from abrasions but not sprains.

There is a grip bar made of a soft material for this model. The earlier versions had a hard plastic grip bar sewed into the palm portion of the glove.

No, there is a wrist rope to hold it around your wrist instead of holding it in your hand.

yes it does, but since you do not hold it very long not a problem. could always wear a glove. ;-)

The hand guard has pins within the cup to hold and progress the item to be sliced by way of a palm depth control button. When you have pressed the button all the way in, the pins are exposed beyond the length of the hand guard. You should not have any waste if you use the hand guard and depth control button as you are slicing or dicing.

There is an extra strap included so the holder can be used on the arm - forearm or wrist. The handband is very versitle!

If you have a really bad wrist, than [personally] nothing will protect your wrist from fracture or break. However, from my experience using wrist guards for ice-skating, wrist guards will significantly reduce the impact of a fall, and will also disperse the energy given to the wrist.
