Adventure Riding BODY ARMOUR (With Motorcycle Crash)

In this video I go through my protective equipment setup whilst adventure riding and explain the importance of it whilst riding.
Wearing protective equipment while adventure riding is crucial for several reasons:
Safety: Adventure riding often involves traversing challenging terrains and encountering unpredictable conditions. Protective gear such as helmets, armored jackets, gloves, knee and elbow guards, and sturdy boots provide essential protection in case of accidents or falls. They can mitigate the impact of collisions, abrasions, and other injuries, potentially saving lives and minimizing the severity of injuries.
Comfort: Properly fitted protective gear enhances comfort during long rides. Helmets with good ventilation, for instance, keep riders cool and focused, while well-designed jackets and pants provide insulation and protection against weather elements like rain, wind, and cold.
Legal Compliance: Many jurisdictions have laws mandating the use of certain protective gear, particularly helmets. Adhering to these regulations not only ensures personal safety but also helps avoid legal consequences such as fines or penalties.
Protection from Debris: Adventure riding often involves riding on unpaved roads or off-road trails where debris like rocks, branches, or loose gravel can pose hazards. Protective gear shields riders from such projectiles, reducing the risk of injuries or accidents caused by flying debris.
Enhanced Confidence: Knowing that you're adequately protected can boost your confidence while riding. This confidence allows riders to focus more on enjoying the adventure and exploring new terrains without worrying excessively about potential risks.
Prevention of Minor Injuries: Even minor accidents or falls can result in painful injuries like scrapes, bruises, or sprains. Protective gear serves as a barrier against such injuries, allowing riders to brush off minor mishaps and continue their adventure with minimal interruption.
Role Modeling: Setting an example by wearing proper protective gear can influence other riders to do the same. This encourages a culture of safety within the adventure riding community, promoting responsible behavior and reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries.
In essence, wearing protective equipment is not just about adhering to regulations; it's about prioritizing personal safety, enhancing comfort, and fostering a culture of responsible riding within the adventure riding community.

Interesting, just discovered your channel. Like the content, thanks for that! I’m not sure if you’re putting in the captions due to your accent, but it’s actually not necessary and a little bit in the way of the video. I can activate KZbin cc if needed, I’d stop with the yellow captions. Just my 5 cents, great video otherwise and happy that you didn’t get injured.
