Mountain Bike Crashes will happen. How to do prepare?

Of course, the best way to prepare for a mountain bike accident is to not have an accident at all. But, if you do some preparation, you can minimize your risk for mountain bike injuries. We recommend:

• Proper fitness and training. The better shape you’re in, the more likely you’re going to be capable of riding out and balancing properly – avoiding a crash in the first place.
• Crash preparation. See the Mountain Bike Action article for tips and tricks from several experts
• Wear proper mountain bike protective gear. Without question, start with a good quality mountain bike helmet. Then, look for mountain bike pads, including mountain bike knee pads and elbow pads. Then, good eye protection and mountain bike gloves.
• Ride within your limits. Know your skills, and know your terrain. Ride in control and be smart about taking risks
