What kind of safety equipment is needed for Go Karting

Go-kart racing in India is an extremely popular activity amongst people of all age groups now. Typical gear includes a helmet, gloves, karting suit, karting shoes, and neck brace. People also wear rib protectors or chest protectors as these gears are different from auto racing gear as they are not flame resistant, and geared more towards abrasion protection. A helmet is mandatory, and probably a neck brace too. Rib protectors are a good idea because you'll get a lot of bruising in karts if you spend more than 30 minutes on track. Beyond that, it sort of depends on what kind of kart you are driving. For a serious professional kart you'll at least want gloves and some seriously durable clothing. Most pro drivers have fire suits. This is to prevent road rash should you be thrown from the kart. Personally I won't sit in anything without a helmet, neck brace, and gloves. The gloves aren't so much safety equipment as they are comfort equipment.
