I did my first DEs without any AXs. Having said that, I will be participating in an AX school next month.

Roll-bar extension is a good plan to protect your spine. Helmet, gloves and shoes for sure. A racing seat and a SIX-point harness are good too. DO NOT get a 5-point harness. Get a 6. If you keep it nice and tight, it will protect your neck in any kind of impact much more than a 5 point. The 6-point harnesses keep you planted in the seat more than the 5. That keeps your upper body from moving forward.
