It shattered(literally) but saved him from serious head injuries.
As a motorcyclist I wear all the gear all the time(ATGATT) and I cringe when I see riders crash during the Tour de France etc.
Imagince the road rash.
Have to give a thumbs up to cranial protection. I would like to see more development in regards to kevlar clothing for pushie riders...I don't think lycra is all that good for the road rash issue.
