not really. I "roost" protecter is there for just that. To protect yourself from roost thrown from other riders. really they arent desisgned for protecting injury to your chest or shoulders, but they still work for that.

no ive been roosted before the reason i put this on here is because my mom thinks it will protect me from breaking a rib and it punchering and organ or something like that and i personally dont think it is designed to prevent that or breaking anything. I need more opinions though so she can see what other people besides me has to say. thanks

Yes it will help some and I do recomend one! I bruised my ribs from getting jammed in to the bars. I ware it all the time now, and has saved me from bruising them again a few times.

They aren't designed specificaly for that.. but if you're using the injection molded plastic style.. it's a lot more resistant than skin. ;) Every little bit will help. I won't ride without one. (Especially since 2 friends have Banshees.. 70mph rocks the the chest hurt! lol)
