They are awefull expensive, but think about them first then buy the stupid exhaust pipe that cost the same. One saves your life, other just give you a boner when you ride. Motorcycle, quad, MX, even downhill MTB. Going over the bars is the absolute worst way to wreck. Done it on dirtbikes, quads, and my street bike, you have all of a tenth of a sec, to dive, kiss your ass, and pick a collarbone to brake instead of your neck. > > dude was so luck that the bike didnt land 2 feet more to the left after it po-go’d 15 feet in the air… or that neck brace wouldnt have done shit. > > Also a back/spine protector should be mandatory gear with the above. I wrecked hard on my quad and someone who saw it said it tumbled end over end less than a foot next to me, I could hear it thump the ground as I rolled away too… Ever since then chest protector is on, racing or trail. Since that I have been drilled my my machine twice from going over the bars, broke a protector and a rib or two each time, but I am still walking. without it I wouldn’t be. 300lb dirtbike, 400lb quad or 450+lb motorcyle will snap you like a twig. > > Please ride smart and safe people. $500 or walking, hmmm I choose 500 jr bacon cheese burgers. They’ll have robot legs in no time --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-guy-walked-away-from-this/261270)._
