Yep, Moses is exactly right. Its REALLY easy to catch a downhill edge on a snowboard going 5MPH and do serious damage. Its like a pendulum affect, and you get slammed hard. Happened to me my 2nd time riding, and I broke 2 ribs. That's why I wear the chest protector now. Broken ribs and motorcycle racing don't go very well together.
