Why I always wear motorcycle armour (it’s NOT useless)

In a recent video by Ryan Kluftinger for the Fortnine channel, he talks about why motorcycle armour protectors are ’useless’. What you wear is, and should always be your choice, but it’s important for people to understand that armour is NOT useless, and that’s straight from two of the experts that Ryan quoted in his video.
