A few on here have, Lozzo, Colin, probably others on a track. A few have has injuries due to protection riding up, as DNC said, trousers being pushed up, or in Colin's case by losing a glove. > The couple of times I fell off bikes wearing my Aerostich it saved me from > losing skin, but it didn't do anything to stop massive brusing in areas > where I had no armor padding. The textiles are fine around town, i've not had one hole on me once they're sliding down the road. I wear mine on moptorways too, but i'm not sure it'd be that hardy at close to 3 figure speeds. Even with armour it doesn't help impact damage. I broke my clavicle by falling off onto my shoulder ... Cheers, Paul. |
