It’s important to wear the proper safety gear whenever you’re karting to protect your hands, head, and body. You should never go out on your kart without wearing the proper equipment:
• helmet — buy a helmet that fits snugly so it can’t be pushed off when fastened
• racesuit — designed to protect your body if you accidentally fall out of your kart
• gloves — buy strong gloves to prevent blisters and keep your hands from slipping
• boots — must cover and protect your ankles from knocking around
• earplugs — wear earplugs whenever you’re driving to protect your ears from all the noise
