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.

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?
