[QUOTE="Miltonyz, post: 290799, member: 22709"] I have heard that the collar bone is the most commonly broken bone. In an anatomy class we learned that one of the reasons for this is it's setup. It is in between two fairly solid bones. It also has a bend in it. I believe that most of the time the bone is broken when you fall on your side and the shock transmits through your shoulder to your collar bone. The bend in the collar bone makes it easier for the bone to break at that point. I think unless you go headfirst at a tree and catch it in the collar bone area those top pads do not do anything for you. The pads on your arm don't stop the shock from being transmitted. Right now I don't belive there is anything that you can where to significantly reduce the risk of collar bone breakage. [/QUOTE]
