Re: slalom handle . guardian
It is a bridle cover meant to keep your head out of the bridle, limit the amount of your forearm that you can shove into the handle, and otherwise deflect the handle with a glancing blow when you fall. If someone is making it with a bucket and tin-snips, then it is a homemade knockoff of Thomas Wayne's device call the Arm-Guard.
Below is a fairly level-headed discussion of the Arm-Guard and I think the image links are still valid.
