Mountain Biker Dies Following A-Line Crash
@PHeller: Both bad. Hitting a tree at speed is a very dangerous mechanism of injury.

Mountain Biker Dies Following A-Line Crash
ER doctor here. I work in a “ski town” in Eastern Canada. I ride the local bike park with my teenage sons. Love it.
Most years we have a fatality in the bike park.
I’ll tell you what I wear for padding: Full face helmet, Fox Raptor Proframe (with the wrap around rib protection), knee and elbow pads. Same for my boys.
I should wear a neck brace, but I’m not 100% convinced by the evidence they help... and I’m vain, and I find them uncomfortable. I will feel stupid if have an accident and have a cervical spine injury and end up in a wheel chair.
Reality is I don’t ride THAT hard. If It’s hot, or I’m riding chill by myself I might just wear a helmet, T-shirt and knee pads.
Having said that I don’t think ANY amount of padding or armour will save you if you hit a tree at speed. Think riding your motorcycle into a wall. The internal plumbing just comes disconnected due to massive deceleration ...
My chest protector may prevent broken ribs but not traumatic rupture of the aorta or massive internal abdominal hemmorhage . Major pelvic fracture and accompanying bleeding from blunt trauma has a very high mortality rate.
My pads and armour will protect me from the scratches and scrapes and bruises, but likely not the major injuries that are likely to be fatal.
Best advice (if you are skiing or biking): don’t hit something stationary (tree, chair tower, etc...). Speed doesn’t kill. Stopping suddenly does.
