Do chest protectors really save you from bruised, broken ribs, etc. in the case of a bad crash or are they primarily for roost? And does anybody know where you can get a Brian Deegan replica with the spikes?? Those things are badass.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The manufacturers call them roost deflectors rather than chest protecters because of lawsuit protection. Same reason pickup truck roll bars are called show bars. Thank your local trial lawyer for that one by pimp slapping him with your hard plastic "roost protecter".

Yes (they can) save you from fractures and broken bones. It never ceases to amaze me when inspecting/cleaning my chest protecter, helmet and boots of the amount of damage they've sustained. Makes you wonder how that would have translated to your body without them.
i remember rolling the raptor in a sandpit... having the quad roll over me with the end of the handle bars digging into my chest...i heard and felt a..snap!. and thought..oh boy that can't be good. turned out to be a piece of the chest protecter between two vents (near my ribs) that let go. not me.
lesson learned that day: always wear my protector...i normally only wore it on track...never in a pit with soft sand (lol). that all changed that day.
