I've broken my ribs several times despite wearing a rib protector. The root of the problem is that when you ride a kerb when cornering... or get tapped by somebody... you momentarily get 'thrown out' of the seat and the edge catches and cracks your ribs when you 'come back' into it so to speak. A while back I fitted a Tillet Rib Cage that ostensibly restrains you from moving forward out of the seat. Its an excellent piece of kit and works. I've not had any problems with my ribs since.
