back protectors

[mr self destruct]

What's the view on the inflating vests? i'd guess they're better for soft tissue damage, I don't know how they will compare for cord damage though surely an air bag must help slow down the impact.


I had a crash on a push bike resulting in detached ribs (broke 6th and 7th, detached 8th,9th and 10th) so would like to get some protection for my back on the motorbike.

I'd like it if they inflated more than they do now, I wouldn't feel safe until I'd end up Zorbing down the M6.
