Most textile jackets are crash once in any case Chris, but see your point. Twice the price is a lot though. I recall seeing it in a 125 race at Valencia in the guys leathers around the neck I think. If it protects neck whiplash and also gives protection to organs, got to be very good step forward. I would have thought it is not the rolling around that hurts though, it's the hitting things, witness race crashes at over 100mph (would it have helped Toseland anymore in his 125mph highside this week? He left pretty much uninjured). Having extra padding might help if hitting stuff whilst rolling, eg kerb/car etc. Maybe good combined with the on-bike airbags for frontal accidents.
