Dr. Mike on Instagram: "Do you wear motorcycle gear with armor inside? Most motorcycle armor is made from materials like foam, thermoplastics, and viscoelastic materials. These materials absorb energy to reduce the amount of force transmitted to your body. They also provide a larger surface area to distribute the force so it doesn't act on a single point of your body. Just take a look at what happens to the egg when it falls onto the motorcycle armor versus when it falls straight onto the plate.
