And hey, really very sorry to hear of your injuries. But purely out of curiosity, were you wearing a full length back-protector? Just trying to find out (over a longterm period) from those riders who have sadly suffered back injury whether a back protector made any difference.

I didn't think that you were criticising however I did think that assumptions rather than facts were being written and I hoped that my thoughts on it would help.
On the subject of back protectors..... other than the built in protectors on my jacket I was not wearing an independent protector. It is certainly something for the shopping list along with the new helmet (incidentally the leathers were undamaged).
The crash was at fairly slow speed however I believe the damage was done on a vertical (as opposed to a slanting) kerb. (It was at a small bridge).
