Wow, that site is TOTALLY non-compatible with the Firefox browser. Not one link will work. IE works fine. Cool products, but $$$$$$$. Yes, it'd be worth it I think, but it's hard to scrape that much up nowadays, especially for anything more than the cheapest version. ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on May 14, 2008) | ||

I think he was more concerned with the product, not the website  Looks interesting, just not sure how akward it would be to wear it. The concern I would have with it is I would worry about it stretching the neck. It looks like it works by putting a platform which is higher than your back, shoulder and chest for the helmet to come in contact with to keep the next from bending too far. It seems to me that in many cases, this could cause the helmet to want to pull away from the head pulling on the neck. I'm not if this is addressed in any way or if it's even a real danger, but I would be interested in knowing. I know the bone at the base of the skull is pretty thin and fragile. | ||

I know for a fact my last broken collarbone was caused by the impact with the bottom of the fullface helmet I was wearing. I face planted into the ground during a hare scrambles (my last one as it turned out) and the helmet tucked under and smashed into my chest. | ||

I'd be concerned with how far you can tilt your head back as well as how far you can look side to side. In a racing condition, maybe a great idea. Street use where you have to be looking all around? Dunno. | ||

if one was so inclined to take "stunting" seriously, that would probably be my 2nd purchase, right after my helmet  | ||

I think any advancement in safety is good for us... I started to see them in Motocross racing a while back.... I also saw some freestyle guys dawning them.. I've seen pictures of guys roadracing wearing non leat motocross foam neck braces.. |
