Well he's got little 11 year old boys clavicles I guess!

He is shorter than most 11 year olds too, I am sure. 5'2" and 103lbs - nevertheless he must have some big balls to be where he is today.

They all have at that level for sure!

Do bikers' clavicles break due to direct impact or is it more from their arms and/or shoulders smashing into the ground?

I remember somewhere a while back (maybe just before the winter olympics) they were talking about these for downhill skiers, but they couldn't find any parameters for them that indicate a definite crash, or enough that wouldn't set them off all the time.

I think the closing comment was something like as far as dainese (i think) was concerned downhill skiers were in a constant state of crash, just occasioanlly they ended up at the end with their ski's pointed the right way. classic

Heheh, quite right.

Now....these should be available in about three or so years for off the shelf suits here in NZ. At a guess?
Excellent.
