I'm not trying to start anything, but I need help understanding the logic.

If I take a dive off the bike with my arms and legs outstretched, how can the armor protect if it only fits correctly while in the sitting/riding position?
I agree with you and have thought that as well. These are a pricey alternative but ive never tried them.
