You need to inspect for damage. After larger impacts you can crack the rear 'shelf' which reduces the amount of resistance to letting your head push back. Leatt have consitantly been dropping the overall height of their braces in the last few years which is reducing their claimed effectiveness anyway.
This is marketing not research. Try again.
single use mate if your helmet is impacted badly in a crash you must replace the brace aswell.
Christ you dribble a load of shit.
By all means shut me down... again.
you seriously are a fucking halfwit and i eagerly await your proof of gods interception in my crash and not my leatt neck brace.
So perhaps a little more enduring than a helmet or more that damage is a bit more easy to spot?
Are you saying those carbon testing videos from the Santa Cruz factory aren't scientific? Because they looked pretty real to me.
This is what I was thinking would he the case. Though they do appear to mostly be a plastic of some sort and not contain the layers of foam etc.
I'm glad to know I'm not alone in enduring crushed balls syndrome. It is the price I pay for lugging around such a big set of last nuggets every day.
how is that a load of shit moron. Are you another jesus lover that thinks god saves necks and not a neckbrace.
damage on a helmet is usually easier to spot than on a neck brace. You can have neck braces sent away to be inspected after a crash but not sure who still does it here. Just easier to buy a new one.
Real yes, scientific no. Unless they quantify every part of the testing in the video, making it repeatable by anyone then it is little more than marketing. How do we know they were production frames and not layed up with extra carbon and reinforced in ways the frames you and I can buy aren't? We don't. How do we know the forces put in are what they say they are? We don't. Its not SCIENTIFIC. Science isn't mythbusters. Science is fastidious, documented, wholly honest and repeatable by anyone that wants to. Were they taking the piss and trying to pull a fast one? No I don't think so, but you never know and thats the point with neck braces. There isn't any publicly available, SCIENTIFIC research to say "yes these will help you in this range of injuries but wont help you in this, this and this" Nothing conducted by a lab or university. Alpinestars have supposedly done a lot of research on the performance of their neck braces. If it were for the better of our saftey as riders you would think they would release the findings. Instead its an internally held document and used as a marketing tool with small portions of it shown here and there.
Im more into satan than jesus, but what you are laying down at the moment is not making you look very rational or well reasoned. Id say you're trolling but I think you think what you're dribbling is actually a good argument.
The satanic bible is a truly great read and insight into life and makes way more sense than the others. Im far from trolling im just standing up for what i know and have experienced from owning a leatt brace and to have a halfwit crap on that they don't work and there's no evidence that they work is a load of shit and that me still walking after a serious neck injury was a act of god and not my leatt neckbrace.
I think he would be more inclined to let it break, then perform post break miracle.
Correlation does not imply causation, you may not have lasted long enough in high school to make it to that science class.
Just for the record, the only person who's mentioned the words 'Act of God' is you.
yes it is hard to pinpoint if they have worked or not in a crash. I have read many stories of people who have been wearing one and still broken necks and others who have walked away unharmed. Its the big what if question and its one that is hard to answer. I asked myself the same question after my accident if i wasn't wearing one what would have happened would i have walked away with a fractured T1 and no broken collarbone or vice versa or nothing or being worst case in a wheelchair. Ive done all the research on leatt neckbraces and others on the market on how they work and the piece of mind they offer. And to my knowledge and experience on that day the leatt brace performed as it was intended to and to even have the doctor in the ER who was a specialist in neck and spinal injurys and was fully aware of the function of a neckbrace confirm to me how the neckbrace helped me and how it worked.
i see you are still struggling with 1+1=.
well apparently my neckbrace is a useless piece of safety equipment and did nothing that day i crashed. So must of being some other divine intervention like god, mother nature or even possibly fairies.
Yes, must of being.
