Country-specific rules
In Switzerland, European standards are adopted under the SN EN reference. Compliance is voluntary, but after an accident, courts check in practice whether they were followed.
Good to know
- Wear a helmet that meets EN 1078, properly fitted and fastened. Local rules often require one, and it makes sense at any age.
- Add wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads while you learn: falls onto hands and knees are common early on.
- Give beginners priority on small obstacles and leave them room: everyone started there.
