after reading Willows post about his crash where he touted his back pad in his jacket for being able to stil walk.. Tom, that's one reason I mentioned it. I know a lot of guys take that spine pad out of their mesh jackets. It's about the only spot on that mesh jacket that makes me sweat.
I landed flat on my back from a significant altitude. I suffered pretty good bruising, but no damage to the spine or internal organs (the external organs are another story).
I found the spine pad uncomfortable, but it's one of those things I just decided to get used to. I'm glad I did, but I hope no one else ever needs it.
