Wonder how this applies to back protectors...my dainese has a plastic cover...is this dangerous?? I highsided with it on and I had an outline of the edge of the shell on my back after....still better than not having had it on.
When back protectors first came out -the armadillo type.I got the blurb from dianese--the idea is to spread the impact over your entire back so there is no single point of impact
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?
