Do you guys protect your lower region when riding?

[illuminateTHE...]

Couple days ago i went down to a garage who are storing my bike.
Whilst i was speaking to one of the mechanic's on the topic of crashing. I told him when i hit something head on, the first thing that started paining me was my groin area, he started laughing. I thought he thought that i was bs'ing but he told me that he had a similar accident and ruptured both of his testicals.
So I'm wondering if anyone here wears anything to prevent such injuries, maybe testicular guard which are currently being used by cricket players lol.

[P.]

I just try not to crash.

I have a JUNIOR cricket protector which would only wear for long mad hoons.

I wore a cricketers box when I was breaking in a one-piece suit and it was fine apart from when I needed to take a piss.

The trick is to learn how to not crash, as has been indicated.

I can't imagine that wearing a box while riding would be particularly comfortable, nor would it necessarily protect you all that well, since it'd rest against the tendons that run up the inside of your thigh when seated.

I was hit head on by a car in the late 90s. I jumped in the air and cleared the car rather than take the hit in the family jewels.

The choice was a higher risk of death or alternatively, well, the second option wasn't worth thinking about. I took the death option.

My plums are so mahoosive that their inertia would punch through any protective clothing/leathers/vehicle in their path.

My junior one over long johns, once 'seated' is not too bad. Would not use one for general riding.

Course I do, that's why I bought boots and obtained armoured trousers

My brother squished his knackers in a crash, he's always worn a cricket box whilst on the bike ever since.

I was rather casually following a mate down from Snake Pass to Derwent Reservoir car park, and stood on the pegs as we went over a little bump, didn't really brace myself though as I came crashing down on the tank balls-first. Struggled to get off the bike when we parked up and felt that sick feeling you get when you catch the very bottom of your nads (like when kicked from behind)
