RE: leather jackets
true, very true. since we are hashing it all out, so to speak, the back protector was first conceived by racer, Barry Sheene. it was not designed with impact in mind at all. it was designed to keep your back from bending backward. he bolted or riveted (not sure which) a bunch of helmet visors together in a way that, when worn under leathers, they allowed your back to bend only forward. he sold the idea to Dainese.

Dainese puts titanium "sliders" on the shoulders, elbows, etc. because they permit a glancing blow, so to speak, when you impact the pavement. my collarbone broke because the Alpinestars I was wearing had a rubber type shoulder and it gripped the pavement like a tire when I hit and snap! Had I been wearing Dianese, it may have been a glancing blow and may not have broken the bone.

It's all a matter of what you hit and how you hit it.
