It is the very reason that I wear a helmet that I DON'T use a breast collar.
And a loose-fitting one is all that more of an invitation to getting hung up
on something, or getting something hung up in it.  I've never seen anyone
yet be MORE severely injured from wearing a helmet than they would have been
without one.  Having seen about as many wrecks caused by breast collars as
prevented by them, I'd rather not, thank you...  One of the most interesting
ones actually didn't do TOO much damage--lady got on her horse at the start
of a ride in her camp area, and got the breast collar hung up on the mirror
of her pickup truck.  Fortunately the mirror broke off before anyone got
seriously hurt, and although she got dumped and the horse made a couple of
passes through camp, no one was injured.  So it is the "anything can happen"
sense that keeps them OFF my horses....
