Yep all that gear and I still broke collar bones three times along with my arm and ankle and you can bet I wouldn't wear a sissy life jacket and helmet in a kayak if it wasn't for those pesky currents and under water rocks! 
The plastic stuff just makes rocks/roost thrown from other riders hurt less. Doesn't do much when it comes to bikes landing on you or high speed get-offs in the whoops resulting in arm flailing cart wheels... kind of like how road armor just cuts down on the road rash, but does not help too much when a truck runs you over or a car runs a redlight and center punches you.
