Re: The benefits of body armour...
Body armour! I remember cruising around back in 67 with just a pair sunglasses, long sleeve shirt and a pair of gloves, oh happy days. There was four times less traffic then which made a difference. Same when we tried skiing or cycling even in the 80s - no helmets, not even thought of. Now you feel almost undressed without the appropriate skid lid. A few years ago we visited the Amalfi coast and I was shocked to see the main road thick with bikes and scooters, the riders totally disregarded any body protection, some not even wearing any gloves. How our attitudes have changed.
