Thanks for sharing your comments and experiences on racesafe2000. To answer your question about whether I've had injuries wearing any other type the answer is no. In all other falls I wasn't wearing any BP - not a scratch. Only ever had two falls with the BP and broken ribs both times - which is why I'm a bit disappointed. As you say maybe just bad luck. Will inspect the 2010 for the extra padding under the lacing - perhaps that was the problem.
