I don’t want to distract from the conversation and am an advocate for any safety gear requirements that are appropriate/effective.
I just find it an interesting discussion thinking about what safety gear we need and what sports to compare against. I’m not so sure motocross is the right comparison to be honest as all our gear is rated/tested to slide not dig. However, as someone said above, if they provide some safety benefit, even if it’s not the exact designed one that still makes it worthwhile investigating.
