How about soccer goalie shorts/pants. They have padding on the sides.

He has just taken a bad fall onto the concrete floor of the garage and has a very sore hip! Since we can't stop these falls (always backwards, often after retropulsion, but sometimes due to feet sticking and not turning properly) I am thinking about some way to "soften the blow". Does anyone have any experience with sports equipment for example, or products which could be made into a protective suit to protect the hip and tail bone from impact. Over to your collective wisdom. And thanks JOY Graham
