LOL!
I'm off to surgery in a few days after my crashing with my Leatt. Sure, it saved my neck, but left me with an overlapping collar bone.

Fucking oath, aye man. It's rediculous. I'll quit and take up checkers.
Nah, helmet is all good. Crash wasn't even that bad, just unlucky I guess.

OTB on one of the bottom jumps. Was raining... I couldn't see.
Surgery was last night. So far so good!

I have read on some other forums that there is some debate about whether the Leatt and the Alpinestars brace perform the same function. I haven't been able to verify this myself, but it was said that the Alpinestars brace only provided protection for axial loading. It is due to this lower level of protection that the Bionic brace offers more freedom of movement.
It would be nice to know if we were comparing apples with apples.
If anyone can find a study that compares the two that would be appreciated, as I would like to buy a neck brace soon, and I don't want to go breaking collarbones again if I don't have to.
