It's a good idea. My brother broke his same collar bone (clavicle)
twice racing motocross. Doc said if you break it again, I may not be
able to mend it at all, next time. That bone is not a thick heavy
bone like a leg bone (tibia), but flat and thin (relatively). Maybe
they have better medical options, now. Ask one of our nurses.
