To increase your chances of personal injury at an upcoming protest, you can try to blend in with the crowd and wear appropriate protective clothing, such as a helmet and thick shoes. Protecting your face is especially important in light of the potential for projectiles such as pepper spray and rocks to be launched in crowded protests. Carrying any kind of unnecessary items can increase your risk of injury, so it's important to remain aware and keep your surroundings empty. Additionally, stay toward the edges or back of the crowd if possible. In general, it’s best to be conscious that police may use aggressive tactics like rubber bullets or tear gas and have safety gear available just in case.

To increase your chances of personal injury at a protest, you should wear protective gear such as pads and gloves. Bring an umbrella or signs that can be used as shade from any projectiles or chemicals. Wear clothing that covers your body, including long pants and sleeves. Avoid wearing anything that could be used to identify you later in court, such as a company logo or colors associated with one particular group. Wear comfortable shoes with good traction so you can run if necessary; remember to bring water and snacks to keep up your energy levels.
Try to locate medical aid stations at the protest; most protests will have these stations set up for people who get injured during the event. Make sure to listen to announcements during the protest about safety measures—many protests will provide warnings about projectiles like rocks being thrown by riot police officers and will instruct people how they should respond.
Take precautions when near law enforcement officers: Stay back from them in large groups (this may reduce chances of officer discretion being used) maintain your distance from pepper spray, flash-bang sound cannons and tear gas launchers if they are present; also make sure you comply with any laws passed on procession routes etc.. Do not interfere with any officers who approach protesters, sit down if possible, put down any objects in your hands when told to do so.

Stay aware of current events occurring around town during protests: Be mindful of traffic patterns changes due local street closures caused by demonstrations; take alternate routes whenever possible avoid bringing along expensive electronics as demonstration might get rowdy making stolen merchandise a risk stay close by trusted friends whenever attending large gathering during night times consider using layers clothing  protecting yourself against both temperatures drops rapid shifts climate conditions etc...
