American football players rely on their protections as they smash into each other as hard as possible. Rugby players wear very little protection and try to not injure anyone.

People who wear back braces are more likely to injure themselves.

I cannot find the link that I shared, but people had similar concerns with seatbelts and airbags, but supposedly they have only made things better.

People overestimate the effectiveness of systems designed to keep themselves safe. I imagine people actually complain about the idea of self-driving cars on their iPhones while driving.
