Designed off the Rapid Transit Line of jumpsuits worn by messengers and athletes, the Roadrasher is a complete suit of impact armor for those who are regularly exposed to the danger of high-speed impact with the ground (like professional motorcycle racers). Using densiplast and ceramic plating over vulnerable areas and gel-pack technology in the padding of the suit, the Roadrasher can absorb crash damage and cushion the fall of the wearer. The Roadrasher looks like a heavily armored version of a Rapid Transit jumpsuit, with a skintight protective suit and ceramic plating over major joints and ribbed padding over all external surfaces (like hips). The collar of the suit is rigid and locks with the integral helmet in crash situations, adding another layer of protection to the vulnerable neck area and hopefully preventing crushed vertebra or snapped necks. Of course, there is a price for all this protection; while worn, the Roadrasher's encumbrance does tend to keep the wearer from reacting as quickly, but most professionals agree it's a small price to pay for the benefit the Roadrasher provides.
The Roadrasher reduces Damage Levels from high-speed impacts and collisions (such as Crash Tests) by one level automatically (reducing a Serious impact collision to Moderate). It comes with an integral helmet that must be worn for this benefit. The Roadrasher cannot be worn with any form of skintight or form-fitting armor. The wearer suffers a -1 Quickness penalty while wearing the suit in addition to all other encumbrance penalties; this also affects Reaction and Combat Pool.
