At least someone still thinks on this site.. You can't compare different tracks race results and say that a piece of safety equipment was the determining factor, so many other elements. That said its all irrelevant because the question is does the brace work, not is it slower.

So some people like it and some people don't. That's not the question were dealing with. Obviously they will restrict some movement, that's how it protects you. Aerodynamics is not really a big factor in the DH game at this point. The questionable point is that the brace is not effective. The point about the brace breaking on extreme impact to protect sternum and vial organs, can anyone vouge that the sternum is stronger than the neck, because if not the statement says that the brace will break to protect other things than your neck first? Saying that a Leatt saved someone in a crash is pretty irrelevant as you would not know the result without one. But is there any cases where someone has sustained a neck injury wearing one? If not that at least says something.

Has there been any cases where the Leatt has failed to work? They seem to have been around the industry for a few years now and people keep buying them.

I'd be interested in hearing more about rumors that the leatt may not be that effective?

DS results?
