Do most people have them on there wrist all the time or only when doing a grab.

just ask for when you fall you dont break your wrist or nothing

Thanks

I've snapped 2 poles, forgetting that I had them on my wrist, while doing a tip stand and falling on them. So I generally just don't put them on now unless I'm hiking.

I always wear my straps no matter where I am. I just hate dropping a pole and having to go get it but maybe it is because I am just used to it from past adventures in my skiing career.

I take my straps off. It seems like it could so easily fuck up your wrists

Same here. I'd rather fall and have to hike back up the hill a little bit to get my pole than have to get surgery on my wrist because it got fucked up from my pole strap.
