Some of us may need to, but not many. It's the latest bit of protective gear on the market.

The Torso Armor Jacket is being made by Swedish company POC.
POC designs, engineers and markets personal protective gear for alpine skiers internationally.
It's self-proclaimed mission is "to revolutionize the degree of protection in alpine protective gear and thereby prevent injuries and save lives.'
