A hip protector (1), formed into a domed shape so as to cover a hip portion corresponding to man's neck of a femur, having flexibility, and also a specific flat compression strength and a lateral compression strength. Therefore, the hip protector (1) deforms elastically in an impact given so that a cavity (12) between the hip protector (1) and the hip portion becomes smaller, resulting in a shock absorbing effect and endurance. As a result, the hip protector (1) is effective to prevent a fracture of the neck of the femur in falling. |
