I'm bringing this old thread back up because I think, at least in my mind, it deserves further discussion.
I tore my ACL, then I bought knee braces, maybe had I had them I wouldn't have tore my ACL. A few weeks ago we had a scrambles at our club, during practice a guy, who had been riding for over 30 years, high sided landed on his head. The wreck shoved his brain stem into his skull leaving him paralyzed from the neck down, he ultimately succumbed to the injury.
So now to my question, Who wears a neck brace? and if so what kind? I recently ordered a Leatt and hope it will offer piece of mind. I'm getting old, and landing on my head just doesn't work anymore, not that it ever did.
