Every sport has its own set of dangers and list of potential injuries. No sport is completely safe --that is obvious by the number of competitors who routinely get injured and either withdraw their name from competition, or sit on the bench and rehab until they are healed.
Some sports, such as tennis, might put a player at risk of injuring a knee or a leg, as the game requires an intense amount of running and maneuvering. Other sports, such as rugby, put players at risk of breaking bones or of something more serious and damaging, such as sustaining an injury to the head. However, even these physically violent sports do not put peoples' lives at risk.
Car racing is one of the sports that can result in serious injury or even death on a regular basis.
Therefore, if you are somebody who participates in car racing on a regular basis, you must first learn and understand the safety measures that are essential toward being a healthy and successful driver. There are dozens of pieces of safety equipment that are created and designed to help keep drivers safe, and being familiar with them is an important part of becoming a racecar driver.
The first thing you must make clear is what type of racing you usually compete in. There are different items for different people, and different items for different types of racing. To ensure that you are taking the best possible care of yourself when it comes time to race, you must make sure you are shopping in the right aisle: the auto racing aisle, or the kart racing aisle.
If you are somebody who more often than not competes in auto racing, then your suit should reflect that. The biggest danger looming on an auto racetrack is that of a big car collision, leading to multiple crashes and potential for major injury. There are a number of devices that are set up within the car that are meant o help limit the damage done by such a huge accident, and many of these advancements have been shown to work extremely well (the specialized seatbelts, for example, ensure that drivers are even less likely to be tossed around in the event that a car should be hit or should crash into a wall). However, one potential problem with all these additions is that in the event that a driver and his or her car catch fire, it is more difficult to escape the clutches of the car and break free before the fire really takes off. Therefore, if you are an auto racer, the thing you need most out of your racing suit is for it to be able to protect you from fires and from prolonged exposure from high heat.
While this is the biggest issue facing auto racers, kart racers deal with a different set of dangers. Kart racers most often experience injury when they are tossed from the kart or skid out and slide into another kart or into a wall. If a fire were to break out, they would be able to create some distance between themselves and the vehicle, as there is nothing holding them in place as is the case with an auto driver. Therefore, while fire resistance means less to a kart racer, a suit that will absorb the physical shock caused from being thrown onto the concrete or asphalt racetrack is more important than it would be to an auto racer.
When the dust settles, all that truly matters when it comes to racing is that you enjoy doing it and that you do it safely. With the right racing suit, you can be sure that you are doing your best to protect yourself against the very real dangers that exist out on those racetracks.
