YES!
Leatt Braces save lives
Remember, stupid hurts.
And Protective gear is much more comfortable than a broken neck.

True. But neither is paying the hospital to cram a feeding tube down your throat everyday..
Anyone who races these days has GOT to be short on money,
I know we drop at least 300 dollars a weekend just for gate fees and sign up
But you do need a Leatt. Theyre worth it and every rider should have one

Actually, Im a photoshop artist for my race team and I was fooling with the logo to see if I could make a potential logo for one of the boys. But it didnt work so I put my picture on it. If you dont like it, dont look at it.

...maybe because it's already copyrighted?


Slapping a photo on an established logo does not make an artist.

They should impose much more before wearing a neck brace should be mandatory.

Doing so just says, not only is the sport dangerous but chance of survival has been cut next to none. Not a very good message in my opinion.

There is no data either way on what the brace has done or not done. Leave it to rider preference.

Exactly, leave it to rider preference. I choose to wear one, many of the people I ride with choose not to wear one. Its no sweat off my back if they do or dont its just their decision. Some riders like it some dont.

I could really care less about your avatar, but using another company's logo and adding to it isn't very "artistic", and besides that it's illegal.

As far as the Leatt goes, I ordered one for my son the day the Bailey video came out and he has worn it ever since. But not to open another Leatt can of worms, I'd like to see your "proof" it's saved lives.

I'm not riding with my Leatt anymore. I crashed with 15 mls/h and broke my collarbone and damaged my shoulder because of the Leatt. It's more than two months ago and I still can't ride my bike. No more Leatt brace for me. I see more and more riders stop wearing the Leatt. Here in Europe Rattray and Searle had to ride with them in 2007 in the GP's (KTM ordered that) but in 2008 they threw the Leatt away as soon as they didn't have them wear them anymore... Says enough I think.

?- Searle didn't use the leatt in 2007(or this year), and Rattray said he stopped wearing his for more ventalation.

You guys that think its a good idea to make neck braces mandatory are f'ing retards. There is NO proof they work. Of course in theory it sounds plausible. But there is no real proof. Don't give me that "well the doctor said" bullshit either. Doctors always say that kind of stuff.

Until there is PROOF and evidence that they work, they are bunk. And yes, they can and do cause more damage then not wearing them.

The reason I am so against neck braces is that they could give a false sense of security (and there is no evidence they work). To me, at this point, it is a scam.

Now, you will say as noob jB324, would you rather have a broken neck or collarbone, of course the answer is collarbone but that's not the point. Just because someone hasn't suffered a catastrophic spinal injury while wearing one doesn't mean someone won't.

Think about it this way, how many catastrophic spinal injuries have we had in moto up till the point of the Leatt coming on the market? Very few compared to the number of people who ride and race (one is too many and I never want to see anyone hurt, don't get me wrong) but now that the Leatt is out, every rider that crashes hard swears the leatt saved him. It is bullshit.

Train and condition yourself as well as you can. Be smart and don't ride over your head and just accept the fact that moto is dangerous. Don't take this risk is you don't like it. But putting faith into or requiring that you wear a leatt is nothing more than a scam.
