While there are many tips for vaulting safety, they can be narrowed down to three major ones. Practice the three major tips for vaulting safety from an award winning vaulter in this video on vaulting basics.

But, in my opinion, the three most important would be: practicing everything on the barrel first until it works because the barrel is lower than the horse and the barrel is still. The second tip would be to listen to your coach and lunger because they're able to see things that you might not see on the horse. The other is to remember to roll when you fall.
