On the subject of "aiming for them" -- I remember when I first started doing gaps with my friends. We basically had a falling technique down to utilize the pads. And sometimes we'd end up scraping a little with one kneepad if we were uncertain of the landing too. Not wearing pads makes you have to learn to either roll out of falls or just avoid falling in the first place.
I still maintain that if you're new to skating you should invest in some pads to protect you from stupid things and they may not be a bad thing to throw on when you're trying new stunts even, but for day to day rolling it's not really needed unless you're just killing yourself without them...
