Often, the ribs are NOT cracked or broken.... it's actually damage to the 'intercostal muscles' between them. It hurts just as much..... The only way to find out is an XRay but, as there's sod all they can do with broken ribs except a little bit of bandaging, having the XRay is a not too safe waste of time.

However, for all my 'early' karting career, rib protectors weren't even invented. I 'did' my ribs 3 or 4 times in 50 years and have NEVER worn a rib protector. If your seat fits you correctly, you are most of the way there, with or without a protector.
