Th ough we don't know of tha t many
Armadillos w ith vu ln era b le b ack s,
Entropy Racing 's Armadillo back pro.tector is designed to prev ent se ri ous
back injury in a wa y unlike an y other
back protector. The manufacturer claims
that most current back protector designs
lay directly over the vertebral process
(spine); consequently; the force"of an
impact is taken d irectly by the ver tebrae . The Armadillo is shaped to form a
bridge over the spine so that forces are
dispersed over a large area, decreasing
th em by a factor of 40 tim es. Th e
Armadillo's three interlocking plates
allow the loads on one plate to be carried by its neighbor and also prevent the
back from being bent b ackwards .
Suggested reta il price start at $200. For
