I want to get one,  unless it is really uncomfortable I see no reason to not use it in the park.

this guy got it right

^yes it was a joke. obviously lots of people break their backs, lots of them were probably wearing back protectors.

i rock one, i don't find it uncomfortable at all, worst is on a real warm day your back is slightly sweatier than the rest of you. although i ride mainly out of the park i would totally recommend them.
