We also shouldn't forget armour is not a panecea, whilst it can help with impact injuries it won't protect from twisting and other types of injuries (my snowboard accident to my knee for example). So Gazza makes a good point about rider training and first aid. Good to not crash if you can help it as that's the best protection from injuries, even if you can't always avoid it. I've been on one of the police rider training days a number of years ago and it was a really useful and good experience and very good value for money. Plus I like the sound of the rider down training, if you do crash it's clearly a good idea to get good first aid help fast (or be able to give good help to your fellow riders).
