Throughout the research and experiments, the team identified the risks and limitations of this sport. This garment is thus invented to remove the limitations and movement restrictions that come with such sports. The invention will help and encourage further engagement in this sport by people with physical disabilities. Apart from gaining international recognition, a patent application was filed in Hong Kong and Mainland China as well.<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"tribe-block tribe-block__events-link\" >\n\t\t<div
