Interesting little article here on a study by the ozzies.2012 though

It says that the study showed an increase in soft tissue injury when foam inserts were used in jackets

I'm not sure I follow their conclusions.

Yes, according to their figures, the likelihood of bruising on your back seems to double, but I would have thought that, without it, you'd no longer be in the sort of incidents that they're looking at (you'd be in the KSI category instead which they have effectively excluded), so surely that means it's a good thing because of that?

Ye i kinda thought that graham coz it said soft tissue & i think the main thing to worry about is the spinal cord.


I dont suppose any protector is saying you wont have a sore back or even a damaged one but you might still have signals alowing you to function.
