When I was in high school and eventing, occasionally my gelding would spook or buck and dump me when we were out in the woods, then he would take off..... he had to cross a narrow, windy road in the woods and would generally be in my neighbor's yard munching on her lawn when I finally trudged home, ready to smack him over the noggin.........
Saw some cool safety vests today at the event, I think they're called Air Ride that have a canister of CO2 and inflate when you leave the saddle. Pretty cool, but I'm sure they are pretty expensive too although watching some of the falls they had on video and the fact that the rider came out of them OK is pretty convincing!
