Safety Equipment

Accidents happen, so play it safe.

• Always wear a helmet made for the sport you're playing
• When choosing a bike helmet, look for the sticker that says it's approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
• Wear a mouth guard if you're playing contact sports or other activities with a high risk of head injury
• Wear wrist, knee, and elbow pads, to help prevent cuts and breaks  
• For some sports you will also need to protect your eyes with a face mask or well-fitted goggles (prescription if you wear glasses)
• Don't skimp on shoes - wear the ones that are right for your sport and replace them when they wear out.
• Always wear seatbelts when driving
• Use gloves and eye protection when working with tools¹
