Users of the Company's products have enthusiastically shared their experiences on the fan page.  Facebook fan, M. Hightower, wrote: "I crashed hard at Thunder Valley MX yesterday going about 30-35 mph and I hit a huge kicker and went over the bars. My bike landed on me and I got nailed by another rider. I swear that amount of tumbling would have shattered my neck like ice, and your chest protector saved my back from being punctured by my bike. I give full gratitude to the people at Leatt. I'll always use Leatt products the rest of my life as long as I live."
