That's a lot of crap to wear in the heat of summer and nobody wears all that stuff when riding XC which is what I was doing when I biffed. I'm not a DH'er but if I was I'd defintly wear body armor.

In the winter I wear 661 2x4's when it's chilly.........they'd a saved my arm but wouldn't have helped my shoulder.

That may be true, but not a lot of old men do XC. They leave that to the invincible younguns. When you loose your invincibility, and get tired of spending hours in the emergency room, you start wearing armor. You don't bounce like you used to. Consider yourself avant garde, a trend setter, and ride proudly in your Michelin Man suite.
