Like all sports, pump track is not without its dangers, but by following the rules and using the right protective equipment, injuries can be minimised. Here are the most important pieces of protective equipment that contribute to safe pump track sports.
A helmet is the most important and essential piece of mandatory protective equipment. Without it, it is forbidden to use the track! The minimum requirement is to wear an open helmet; however, it is highly recommended to wear a full face helmet, which provides increased protection for the face, teeth and chin.
Highly recommended for open helmets, the best is a mouthguard that can be boiled to the shape of your own teeth for martial arts. Worth getting and using.
Gloves are also an important accessory, especially on hot days when sweaty hands can easily cause your hands to slip off the handle. Gloves not only reduce slipping, but also protect against abrasions, contributing to the comfort and safety of your sporting activities.
The use of these protective equipment is also highly recommended as they help prevent injuries caused by bumps and bruises.
Available in lace-up form, they protect the ankle from both impact and sprains.
Generally used for sports where higher speeds are achieved (e.g. motocross, mountain biking) but may also be a recommended accessory on pump tracks.
In order to play safe sports on the pump track, it is important that everyone acts responsibly and never fails to wear the appropriate protective equipment. Safe sportsmanship promotes fun and enjoyment while minimising the risk of injury..
