[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 291413, member: 25436"] I agree with Miltonyz. I broke my collar bone after hitting a large tree that had fallen across a trail, just beyond a blind corner. I came flying around the corner, hit the tree, then went sailing about 25 feet, landing first on my outstretched arm. The force and resulting leverage snapped my collar bone. No amount amount of direct chest and/or collar bone protection will prevent this type of break, and this the most common way to break a collar bone. This is also a frequent injury in downhill skiing, when people attempt to break a fall with their outstretched arm. It's a natural reaction when you are sent flying. Instead of the arm breaking, the leverage breaks the more supseptable collar bone. Don't get me wrong, I strongly believe in wearing protection, it's just that the collar bone is broken easily. Hope this helps.... - Bill [/QUOTE]
