Polo bike fails... have been reduced massively since we have switch balls.
The attitude that you need a beater or something strong and tough is not really that relevant anymore.
The balls are lighter, softer and smaller... ie less damaging the downside it leads to a quicker game on the bike and speed of the ball. Getting hit on a fleshy bit is ok... on the bone sucks. Bike pile ups seem to be of the same frequency, also kinda depends who you play with (their style...bill.... hassan, aply skootas list here) can lead to a heavier in contact game. which to be fair is fun and can improve your bike handling skills. If you need a bit of chain to replace out let me know i've got soem bit and bobs.
but come on by play a game its not scary...its fun.
