I'm in this casse not completely sure how much the horse tried not to step on her, as the horse rolled away from her when moving off her, there was already quite some space, and they need to pull their legs under them to get up, which also didn't bring the legs near her. That said: I've had my run overs with horses, because I dropped off and saw all hoofs pass me/go over me or because the horse startled big time in a very narrow alley (1m wide, 6ft tall horse). The horse startled, jumped forward, because of that launched a branch of a bush which whacked him on the butt and launched forward even more powerful, going straight over me as I had already stumbled during the first jump. I saw him struggle to not hit me when he flew over, counting all 4 hooves over my head, but he succeeded and I survived and he was okay as well. I was glad when that alley got widened later on (parked wrecked car).
I saw as a horse collapsed in a ditch and he spred his front legs so wide to accomodate rider who fell under him. He hurt both of his shoulders as a result but he didn't fall on her thus saving her life.
Amazing jacket. Glad she survived it with minor injury.
that had me hold my breath ! that jacket is a true life saver ! how she got away with those injuries i do not know.... glad she is ok ! xx
Horse had a nice cushy landing!
But seriously, glad they are alright. This video is one of the reasons I bought a vest.
soo glad i purchased one of these!!
Wow I cannot believe that she got away with only those injuries.
I know what I want for Christmas!!
I’m glad the horse had the human vest, definitely softened the fall.
Anyone notice how the horse was really careful not to step on her?
Most horses are
They may very well be smart enough to attempt to avoid harming someone, but their sheer body mass makes this difficult, if not impossible.
Noelle Laflamme it was bloody brilliant how the horse had soft landing..ban the sport..

i was talking to cystal her mum the other day and she got away with a few broken ribs but everyones all ok now x
Holy moly, i don't know how well she would have fared without safety equipment.
what's happening to the jacket at 24 secs where she pulls the bottom and it pops up? looks like it hadn't inflated?
It automatically starts deflating after 10 seconds to take the pressure off of you incase you are injured.
oh my god
Is that in holland :d
I won't ride without mine now. I can't believe I rode for so long without protection
Gosh i feel so sorry for her ... I know that had to hurt.. The horse looked like it was limping pretty bad =/
is it a point 2 air jacket?
yes it is
dAMMIT!!!! That is why I'm scared to do cross country. the jumps don't collapse. I'll stick with low low jumps. I'm so glad she is fine.
me too!
jump 1.60 show jump? why not!
jump 1m cross country? hell no!
i know Corals mum and she said the horse was fine:)
Funny how people noticed the horse limping.. I was focused on the rider.
Her head!!!
HOLY SHIT!! thats horrific! wow! so glad shes ok!! :O
