A giant inflatable X chromosome could save your bones the next time you crash!
I’m still seeing crushed collar bones from this design, though that’s definitely better than a fucked up collar bone and fucked up ribs.
As someone who came through broken ribs thanks to a cycling crash a few years ago, anything is better than fucked up ribs. Literally anything
I think they’re mostly trying to prevent the odd death / paralysis that still happens on rare occasion, rather than a collarbone which is usually a pretty easy recovery.
Even then, I think this is going to be a tough sell, even for pros. Or when they’re forced to wear them, they’ll complain about them a lot for the first couple seasons. But then it will actually save a life and it’ll shut them up. But will probably never be commonplace in amateur or recreational cycling.
Yea, it obviously will take a helmet on top of this to be anything remotely safe.
