I don't know...just asking.

They don't wear the chest protector when they are wearing leathers plus with the leathers they (some) do have protectors on their backs which makes the riders look like the have a hump back. Some riders don't like the Leath brace on 1/2 mile or longer tracks because they are uncomfortable bending over to get lower to the tank. You are right it is a personal choice but could be a fatal one. I would have thought you would see more riders wearing them.
