CRASH PAD - Planning to Crash doesn't make sense... but preparing for when Stuff Happens helps you survive and reduce or avoid injury. Planning to Reduce your Risk of Spinal Injury should include a CRASH PAD in your seat. It's the BEST way to Reduce Spinal Compression Forces because it uses the same material that Tested Best for the US Military to address the same problem. Be Smart, Be Prepared. It's better to Do It NOW, not After.
