Completely understandable on all accounts. I was just curious since I wear one in hopes it may "help" in certain events. I've heard different reasons it could end up worse, but I've also heard that the things it could mess up would be better than some things that it prevents from getting hurt.. Stephen or george or anyone really, pm me your thoughts if you don't wanna beat the horse or air it publicly. I'm capable of my own opinion, but insight never hurts. Not one to argue or debate. Just wondered if there were things I didn't know about it and I was also considering buying Courtney one (that can wait now since she's already done broke her lower back which was obviously unstoppable with a leatt since she broke the L's..)
