Summary

[edit]
Description Safety in motocross has evolved through the years. In its infancy, motocross protective gear was a pair of gloves, a jacket, leather pants, a set of goggles, and a helmet that was open-faced. When crashes occurred, they were usually fatal. Today, FIM inspects any and every track bidding to hold high-stakes races so as to ensure that long-established safety guidelines are met. Protective gear runs head to toe, and includes full-face helmets, padding in strategic places, jackets made of highly-durable kangaroo leather, and reinforced boots and gloves that allow for movement, just not in the wrong ways. Now, falls and spills at speeds of 100 miles per hour are no longer commonplace, and if injury occurs, is often minor
