no i've never used them, partly becasue im a goalie, but anyway, yeah in your case that would work well, they aren't rib pads really they cover your abdomen, i'd say go for it (in your case)

They cover from about 2.5 inches down from your nipples, to maybe about .5 inches past your belly button.

I don't know how much they would help if you hit your ribs on a rail. They are still pretty soft. I dont know tho.

well it depends how you wear them, they will definitely cover your abdomen
as for the protection, most are padding with a harder backing, i think it would really be a good idea for you

***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

They are too thin for protecting from impacts, they are more to protect you from dirty players going for your kidneys as you juke their asses into the ground.

haha, rock on ecfreeski! goalies represent!
anyway, look in the back of your favorite ski mag, and there will be an add for some ski pad company. I've really only seen padded pants (more for snowboarders), and this back pad thing (more for Downhill racers, because it improves aerodynamics), but i'm sure there is some padded shirt thing. worst comes to worst, you could just get a Spyder Stealth top, which is a padded slolom top thingie.

rib pads are for pussys who cant take a hit... and i dont think that they would help very much while skiing

meh, i just figured they might do a little something...i guess lacrosse pads would more be designed for poking and hacks, not hits...but i could see football pads as constricting...if i get ahold of them i guess id give them a shot...i dunno...nevermind...haha
