Just read the artcle in the BMW Owners News magazine by Dustin Silvey. I think that he laid down a lot if wisdom there. Unfortunately a little late for me as I had a low speed fall on deep sand but went high side and overextended my neck and damaged my C7-T1 disc. I was very lucky it was just the disc and that I can still wipe my own butt. But i still have frequent bouts with pain from a pinched and irritated nerve with mild radiculopathy.
So now you dont see me without a neck brace while on a bike. May be too late to save my disc, but since it is compramised Im more prone to serious injury.
What do others here think about them? Do you use them? If not, why? And what do you think of people that do?
In addition, im considering the new Helite riding jacket with a low profile tethered airbag that offers even more protection to the cervical area.
Cheers! And stay safe.
