Considerations when purchasing a Bengio Rib Protection Bumper PLUS

For rib protection, there is no form of homologation. This means that the FIA/CIK has no direct requirements for neck protection.
In general, safety comes first; be well informed before purchasing a rib protector.

If you are going to participate in karting competitions, it applies that most organizers have included the requirements for these garments in their regulations.

Until a few years ago, it was mainly the simple rib protectors, vests with foam padding and a protection in the form of a plastic cocoon that were often worn, nowadays you see more and more extensive body protectors on offer. You can see around you that these bodyprotectors do not always sit well when sitting in the right size go-kart seat.

A tip when purchasing; don't just try on the Bengio Rib Protection Bumper PLUS for size, but see if it can also be worn comfortably under the kart overalls and especially if it can still be worn comfortably in a kart seat.

MATERIALS
The use of composite fibres guarantees the highest standards of resistance and safety in the event of an accident, even after multiple uses. The internal padding, made of highly shock-absorbent foam, distributes the impact energy and vibrations to which the driver is subjected during the karting session.

You prefer to avoid ribs and chest injuries. Nothing as annoying for a crankcase as, for example, bruised ribs. An injury that you will generally suffer, but the extent to which it occurs is certainly important. A good protection can save a lot of suffering.

Who's Bengio?
It all started more than 15 years ago when Alessandro Begnozzi, a promising Kart driver, suffered a serious chest injury in an ordinary racing accident that almost forced him to stop racing. After realizing the inadequacy of ordinary rib protectors, his father Stefano decided to design a new product that combines an ergonomic design with higher safety standards. He spent over a year developing the ultimate protector, involving five-time world champion Danilo Rossi and the entire DR Racing Team for continuous testing and improvement.
