Skill doesn’t matter here, and neither does experience. That’s why when people fall, tripor experience an unplanned dismount it’s called an “accident.” Skill only goes so far inpreventing accidents, and the rest is covered by preparation.

Among the ways to prepare for the unforeseen is to be as ready as possible, and thesafest way to be possible is to prepare with protective gear. In addition, don’t skimp on it.While you might not be required by law to wear any protective gear, you should alwayswear a helmet at the absolute, bare minimum. In fact, you should make it a habit towear all of the gear we cover in this article.

Whether required by law or not, you should never get in the saddle without wearing ahelmet. While the majority of scrapes, bumps, and bruises might occur to the elbows andknees, the majority of serious injuries that occur involve the head. Never ride without ahelmet, ever.

The helmet is your single most important piece of onewheel safety gear, and that’s not justthe case if you’re riding a unicycle. It’s the reason that bikers and skateboarders wear themtoo, among others. You can never be too safe, especially when you are riding a machine thathas no handlebars.

After you have assured yourself you are wearing a helmet that is protective and comfortable, you can move ontoother important safety gear, like pads for your knees and elbows. When you fall off a unicycle, or off of anything,really, your instinct is to reach out and break your fall. While you don’t necessarily reach out with your knees, theysometimes take the brunt of a fall if only because they are closer to the ground.

Your extremities are going to be the parts of you that get scuffed up the most, so your knees, elbows, and hands aregoing to take on the ground before the rest of you gets there. For that reason, you should cover yourself adequatelywith pads and guards. After you have picked out a helmet, move on to picking out a pair of elbow pads and kneepads.

While not absolutely necessary, many riders wear gloves and wrist guards, too, in order to protect their handsagainst abrasion as well as against falling. It doesn’t hurt you to wear them, and in fact, it can protect you. Add themto the list.

After you have covered yourself with a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and probably gloves and wristguards you can get into other protective gear like the shin guards that riders sometimes wear.Occasionally, your shins will come in contact with the crown of a unicycle, and shin guards help to protectagainst this- but they will also cover you if you fall.

Besides these, good shoes and sunglasses will cover most of the rest of what you need to be safe whileriding. If you’re looking for the best protective gear for onewheels, this is a good place to start.
