You might still be as likely to break your arm/leg/collarbone while wearing it but less likely to receive a neck/back injury.</p> <p>Around 20 years ago I went across a bonnet in the manner shown in the video. It took a while for my shoulder to recover and this might have protected against the bruising.</p> <p>However in my mind this falls into the shouldn't be necessary for utility riding category. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19380#post-298914 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 13:42:05 +0000 neddie 298914@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Perhaps a collarbone-strengthening exo-skeleton would help? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19380#post-298908 Wed, 09 Jan 2019 13:07:24 +0000 Cyclingmollie 298908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can't remember ever injuring any part that a jacket like that would protect in a fall. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19380#post-298866 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 20:30:16 +0000 prog99 298866@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw that one , look out for the dummy smashing into the car face first! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19380#post-298856 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:39:56 +0000 jdanielp 298856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Potentially helpful for a fall into the canal? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19380#post-298851 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 14:52:45 +0000 Baldcyclist 298851@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-46790235/crash-testing-the-air-bag-for-cyclists" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-46790235/crash-testing-the-air-bag-for-cyclists</a> </p>
