So what do people think about neck braces?
A friend is in the hospital right now, he went over the bars while jumping and broke his collar bone and two ribs. That sounds like a long wait to get back on the bike again... My personal opinion is that it could have been avoided (at least the collar bone) if he was wearing a neck brace.
Does any own one? How well do they protect and who comfortable are they?
I noticed they are a bit pricey, but about 10'000 baht is still less than a week in the hospital + x months without riding so I think the money shouldn't be a factor.
