New neck brace could be helpful

[wanaride]

Hello all, I just read about a new type of neck brace on Motorcycle Daily. This brace was developed by a neurosurgeon and looks to be more advanced than foam collars (which I currently use):

After James Marshall and Ernesto Fonseca's injuries this year, this is something that is worth a look for anyone who rides.

The price is supposed to range between $350-700. Has anyone tried this yet?

wow never seen anything like it- thats quite a piece of hardware. the moto-gpx is for mx/offroad. It would be interesting to try and and see how it feels. It really looks like a huge piece of equip. but if it works Im all for making riding racing safer.....a side note- evs has a new foam collar out the evs rc3 it has some sort of strap it looks like on the bottom, wondering what its all about too.
