Chest protector sounds good.

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!! How fast were you going? Surely there is a way to stay at very low speeds until you get the hang of it? Sounds like the body armor would have certainly helped in your case, but that can't be what it's for, i.e. protecting against something in your pocket breaking your ribs! Just damn!!!!
