And I won't get into knee braces and their potential downsides.
It can be a dangerous sport with unforgiving results.
I know a trail rider who had an over the bars type accident and is now in a wheelchair. He had all the protective gear, it was he came down on a rut in the middle of his back.
Insurance costs for events will determine what's mandatory, not common sense.
We can armour our bodies as much as we like, it only may help.
Will still buy the stuff though and treat it like insurance, sometimes it pays out and some time the fine print catches up with us.
Remember the old saying,
"Rewards go to those who take the highest risks", and the ultimate reward is death if you are the religious type. That works for all religions to as far as I know.
