The second most prone part of body that’s bound to get injured is the torso or to be more specific elbows and the shoulders… The first thing that hits the ground when you have a fall are your elbows and they can get dislocated very easily and not to forget the bruises that one can get because of the scraping on the ground…
Since we are talking about safety here let me cut the chase and get to the point and tell what one can do to avoid being carried away… ARMOURED JACKETS and ARMOURED GLOVES are for the modern day riders there are a huge number of brands that are in the market that make riding jackets and gloves with all kinds of armor embedded in them to name a few you have alpine stars, thor and the cramster which I own… On a more generic way of classifying them jackets come in two varieties the touring ones and the city ones and then you also have the summer meshed jackets…
The cramsters I own have CE approved armor which is the standard armor approval entity that sets the standard for armor production… I realized the importance of the cramsters when I had the fall and virtually no damage at all to me… But there is an important thing one has to realize that using riding jacket is a precautionary measure and not a free license to go out there and ride like a moron…
Here is a picture of my cramster jackets and gloves…
Here are a few links from where you can get some real good riding jackets and other gear in Bangalore…
