Equestrianism is a risky sport, partly due to the unpredictability of the animal and partly due to the discipline being practiced. The most common risk is falling. Therefore, to practice this discipline with maximum safety, it is important to equip yourself with the right gear, including a helmet that protects the rider's head and a cross vest or protective vest that safeguards the spine and ribs. There are also now airbag vests that inflate in case of a fall.
