I was thinking something similar earlier. Since collarbone fractures are
by far a more common cycling injury (anecdotally), why hasn't anyone
developed some sort of protective gear for it? And, what would it look
like? It might be so bulky and hot as to spoil the fun of riding on a
warm enough day. Sort of like a lid.


A straightjacket? Virtually all collarbone fractures are the result of
putting your arms out to stop the fall. A direct fracture is very rare
indeed.

Impractical for cycling "but if just one collarbone could be saved"
