My advice is that it's not if you come off the bike, it's when. Make sure you're prepared when you do. My helmet saved my life. The pants saved the skin on my right leg. The boots saved my ankle. Don't skimp on the gear when buying, and don't skip the gear when riding. Be safe out there!
I'm a big fan of airbag vests. Those really help reduce the consequences of a lot of accidents...
