Only a helmet to protect is not enough

Weekend mischief at the Sepang circuit reminded cyclists that riding in two rounds are a very risky fun; even if you are driving in the apparent safety of the racetrack. In the footage of a tragic accident, it can be seen that Marco Simon celli was wearing all the security equipment that a competitor could wear in a fateful moment. "Marco was wearing the most modern outfit that was produced, even with his airbag, but when a heavy MotoGP motorcycle is hit at full speed, it would not help even the armor," Lukas Peeks, a Czech competitor, commented.

No safety precautions can completely protect a rider on a motorcycle. In such an unfortunate case, even the best defense aids do not help, but you cannot underestimate them, even if you do not. It does not matter if you go on a trip only occasionally and you and bikers are overtaking you, you have to protect yourself and the helmet is definitely not enough.

The so-called "backbone" is not new, but a number of motorcyclists have consistently overlooked this part of the equipment, but according to many experts, it is the most important part of the equipment after the helmet and safety vest, which can prevent spinal injuries that are mostly fatal to riders.

Patellar can buy today from about five hundred crowns for the cheapest models to thousands of protectors. The protective function is similar, but the more expensive the protector, the better you will feel in it will be better ventilated and sitting on your back. If you go "just a bit" and do not want to get dressed in the whole equipment, take at least the backbone, it can help you a lot.

We have become accustomed to the airbags in the car, and even in the offer of new cars, we are not talking about this part of safety; it is simply a matter of course. However, the airbag on the motorbike is still a big unknown and it has been dared to pass only a few brands in the series. One of them is the Swiss, which offers many interesting reflective jackets, which at first glance look like a classic textile jacket.
