His gear looks quite light weight. Are you off-roaders all not normally armoured with shin pads, chest protectors etc.?

Nah they carry guns and just shoot the ground if it tries to hit them.
In all seriousness, everyone makes their own choices on kit. I paid out and have the soft and hard armour.
Recently I’ve opted for comfort, so I wear the Acerbis X-Air or whatever it’s called, and soft knee pads strapped directly to me, as well as the AS Corozal adv boots.
Some guys still go over jumps in trainers, each to their own.

I wear hard armour, hard knee pads and MX boots. Ankles and knees can take a real pounding. Seemingly less so the elbows and shoulders etc, though I wear them anyway. Sharp stones in the chest can be really painful.
My poor chum lost a boot off his truck on the way there which probably did not contribute to his mood on that trail. Mild revenge on my part. On another ride, not long before he launched a walnut sized rock in a perfect arcing parabola high into the sky before bending down over my handlebars and right into my un-padded knob....
