Which item of rider equipment is specifically designed to reduce impact force on the area of the back it covers?

Correct answer

A back protector.

A correctly fitted back protector of the appropriate size. Protectors certified to EN 1621-2 are tested to limit force transmitted to the back; the covered area and protection level depend on the product. They do not guarantee prevention of every spinal injury and should not be described as universal cervical-spine protection. Follow manufacturer instructions and also use other required or recommended protective equipment.
