russpaver (Jun 18, 2009 at 13:47)

judging by the photos, so many of the WC racers are wearing neck braces now

hoshi (Jun 19, 2009 at 0:06) (Below Threshold) show comment

yeah but it still doesnt save you if you hit a tree/rock with your back so it's kinda stupid wearing a neck brace but no back protecion

+ 4

russpaver (Jun 19, 2009 at 7:30)

True, but the neck is alot more fragile and less protected than the back.
And its better than wearing no protection at all

sam264 (Jun 19, 2009 at 7:59)

you've just found an untapped market there mate, run with it Wink

I literally can't ride without gloves though

AnDY-KoNa (Jun 19, 2009 at 10:57)

Full body armour is for protecting the back, sadly not the ribs which i found out 4 weeks ago when i hit a tree and broke my ribs Blank Stare

"nfiorito," since when did gloves prevent broken fingers?

JamesOliver (Jun 21, 2009 at 7:16)

Riding without gloves feels so much nicer but your hands hurt after a while so i swap between gloves and gloveless quite alot.

harriieee (Jun 21, 2009 at 8:30)

@ Hoshi: If you break your C3/4 vertebrae, you're talking wheelchair for the rest of your life. If you sustain a nasty back injury, there's much higher chance bot of recovery and that the injury will be much less severe.
