What gear have you crash tested? Possible Wiki

[RabD]

Just pitching this idea, no idea if it'll come to anything. If a few people are up for it, I'll start a wiki.

How about a Biker banter wiki of what gear members have crash tested and how it performed??? Could help members thinking of getting into biking to choose the best gear. Anyone else up for this?

All input on proposed categories or anything else appreciated.


Example entry (my fall)

Type of clothing: Jacket and trousers.
Article of clothing: Akito Python II jacket and trousers.
Material: e.g. Synthetic
Accident: Lost it on gravel under braking
Surface exposed to: Gravelly tarmac then grassy verge.
Approximate speed: 30mph
Damage to clothing afterwards: None.
Injuries suffered: Sore hip, sore ankle.
Comments: Built in armour did exactly what it is supposed to do. Definitely felt lack of hip protection. Was only wearing hiking boots at the time, hence the sore ankle.
Would buy again? Yes but not for fast riding.
