Yeah, we missed you Matt. I did'nt provide much sport for Dino in the middle gap area, although Kit might have. . .
As for chest protection, I'm the king of over-protection. I run a Dainese Wave 2 back and chest protector, under a Safermoto airbag vest. Its bulky-hot-uncomfortable, but good piece of mind, and I just accept it as part of racing.
On my first and only low-side, the airbags didn't deploy, mostly due to the stupid engineering of the tether that didn't activate the vest on get-off.
Injuries suck big-time, and I try to avoid them every way I can, but they'll happen to all of us as long as we ride, can't get too freaked on it (although I think I did this weekend).

Hope Nem's breathin' easier, and Jr. is doin' OK.
