From the analysis of the user’s injury positions during falls, it was concluded that this design
implements safety equipment that protect the knee and tibia areas. The sections are adjusted to the
cargo pants which are designed to be comfortable for the user during extreme activities.
3.2 Terms of Reference (TOR)
1. Design Description
a. The main function of the product is to enable users to have more practical equipment without
interfering with their activities.
b. These pants are made with the aim that the user has a new alternative to safety equipment
products that accommodate users while skateboarding. This product is expected to overcome
the injury problems that arise when skateboarding.
2. Design Requirements
a. The function needed is the addition of a safety pad in the knee area to the tibia as a component
in the pants.
b. The type of pants designed are cargo pants so that the bearing components are easily applied.
3. Design Limits
a. The safety cushion feature to be applied only focuses on the knee and shin area based on the
results of the analysis.
b. Products are designed only for types of cargo pants.
c. Bearing components only serve as a barrier to injury because the impact is not for blisters or
damage due to surface friction.
4 VISUALIZATION AND FINAL DESIGN
4.1 Styleboard
The mood board concept created in Figure 4 refers to the old-school fashion style theme which is a
trend among skaters. The style board shows various mix and match outfits that are used as a source
of ideas in the design process.
4.2 Final design
Each element of the selected alternative sketches is combined into a new final design. The pockets
in the thigh area are taken from the concept of the alternative sketch, and the final design has a
simpler appearance with no collision between components. The pockets area of the safety pad on
the knee area is structured, so it is easy to operate. There is an elastic part above the knee to facilitate
user movements, and on the top of that part is a zipper applied as an additional option so that the
pants can be changed into shorts.
