Downhilling: Some people pay large sums of money to buy (IMO) the latest fashion accessory, the neck brace-just in case they have "the freak type of accident" in which one of these can save your life.
at the same time
some people still refuse to wear gloves because "they can`t feel the grips properly" in them, but dont care if they remove the layers of skin from the palms of their hand in a more likely crash situation

I have seen many hand accidents over the years, but I (fortunately) have NOT seen any accidents that a neck brace would have made a difference.. DISCUSS

No thanks.

How many folk have been paralysed from a hand injury?

Who cares, personal choice. Gloveless is fashionable at the moment. I wear the gloves, probably might consider the brace, but its a lot of money and it takes a bit of a freak accident. I do find the whole neck brace, but a cotton short sleeve t-shirt, no gloves and maybe some knee pads look a bit amusing.
Can these braces be worn with body armour?

i sweat too much not to wear gloves. end up slipping off the grips without em.

neck brace… don't know enough science to have an informed opinion.

Hip pants?
