Good point. We always have this issue of who will bring / risk / and carry a camera.... I believe it sounds familiar to all of you 
Last year in livigno we had a skier friend around who loved filming, so he shot a couple of nice sequences with his cam. I had some nice crashes on it, once almost hit the cameraman.
Believe it or not I just can't put my hand on that tape ever since than, because the dude also recorded some hot home movie onto that tape with his girlfriend and he's not giving it out of his hands..... it sucks...
Cheers,
István

I was also interested in the Dainese protective gear, but is was too expensive. I ended up getting a Rock Gardn Flak Jacket that was made for mountain biking. Check it out at this site.

I bought the flak jacket at a local shop for $140.
I've used it for 3 days now and it is comfortable. I forget that I'm wearing it. The coldest weather I've used it in so far was only around 25 deg F (-4 C).
I also wear hockey shorts under my snowboard pants. The hockey shorts have a lot more padding than snowboard specific padded shorts.
I haven't had a good slam yet to test the flak jacket, and hopefully I won't need to test it. But I have fell on some rails in the snowboard park and the hockey shorts definately saved my butt. The hockey shorts also helped when I've tried EC turns and I've lost an edge and slid out on my hip. Before someone asks, I DON'T use the same board for the park and carving.
I also use the hockey shorts whenever I go skateboarding in pools and halfpipes.
