Re: Protective gear
I tried following the links through to the Motorrad article but still no real facts. You're right in that expecting gear to protect you from impact is wishful thinking, however the armour bits do go some way to reducing severity. An arm pad could spread the load and prevent a break, for example, and I doubt there is any doubt (?) about back protectors beign better than nothing. Intertsting about airbags at high speed, are they worse than the MotoGP ones or are they not much use there either?
