going about 30-35 mph and I hit a huge kicker and went over the
bars. My bike landed on me and I got nailed by another rider. I
swear that amount of tumbling would have shattered my neck like
ice, and your chest protector saved my back from being punctured by
my bike. I give full gratitude to the people at Leatt. I'll always
use Leatt products the rest of my life as long as I live."
