I tried snowboarding about 10 years ago. Very fast, hard face plant. There was a walkie talkie in my chest pocket. It broke three of my ribs when I hit. One fracture was displaced and punctured my lung. Hemothorax and lots of pain. Still have a walnut sized lump where the rib healed.
Chest protector sounds good.
