Following last week's incident when someone fell into me knocking me off my bike and injuring me, i'm wondering if some padding will prevent further injury to my hips and upper legs. Obviously goalkeepers use them for when they fall to the floor making a save. The padding takes the impact. I reckon the padding will take most of the impact if you fall off your bike and land on your hip, saving you a lot of problems.
Do you think they will help in a fall?
