Unfortunately, as Becca is proof (myself as well), chest protectors don't neccessary protect collarbones. I suffered a minor collarbone injury myself dirt biking a few years back. However I have been in some situations where the chest protector has definitely saved my butt!

I don't think I would even ever think twice about wearing a chest guard... My tekvest saved me a few years back, I suffered some broken ribs due to my sled rolling over me a few times, but I imagine the outcome would have been a lot more severe had I not been wearing it.

Agee on the vest. Impacted my shoulder on the only rock
on the trail , years back. Always ride the one wheel drive with the armor since.
Besides it hides the beer gut, and gives you some shoulders. :)
SA say hi to your dad for me, we were both AWOL at the sat. fire.
Where is the fountain of youth when you need it?

Well I went and got a neck brace after my flying lesson a couple of weeks ago, But I am now heading out to get a chest protector too.
I am sorry to hear about Rebecca's accident, but I am also thankful for the public service announcement that comes out of it as well and that she is going to be ok.

Two dudes in flip flops and shorts working on getting a kids import quad running, go and do a test start, throttle stuck open and off it goes...... Then you see the two dudes in flip flops jogging down the road chasing said import quad trying to catch it as it wanted freedom..... What a laugh.

Hey Showtime, digits has a name brand kids quad for sale if your tired of wrenching on the import and want your kids to have a chance at riding?

I personally liked murms quote before that said import quad went for a ride of its own....

I think kingston may have rode that pos quad 4 times before it was already broke. :realmad:

Congrats on the chainsaw Sled. James wanted to come by Sunday and say by to Connar but was a little slow getting there as he watched you and the family pulling away.
