So this is the third time I think I have cracked my ribs. The very first time I rode on a wakeboard two years ago after getting my Outback I thought I might try a little jump that ended up with me catching the front of the board and face planting:shock:. Ended up cracking the right side of my ribs. The very next time I went out the next week I face planted again and cracked the left side of my ribs. Needless to say I figured out that I need to learn how to ride the board before I start jumping. Anyway for the two years we have been going out about 2-3 times a week and I can now jump and 180 and little stuff like that. Well this weekend I don't know what I did but caught the front and cracked my left side again but higher up than previously:(.
So I am wondering is there anything out there on the market that you can wear to help this? I have seen a watersport jacket made by Dainese. Really pricey but I know it is good quality becuase I have racing leathers through them and love them. Anyway, anyone know if these things work? Are they worth the money to not have to go through this pain? Of course my allergies are acting up this week and everytime I sneeze it feels like someone is jabbing me in the chest.
Let me know if anyone has experiance with these.
Thanks
