If he had worn protective gear he wouldn't have gotten hurt

= he did not wear a helmet and he got hurt and regrets it because it was preventable.

"If he had had worn..." is incorrect.

You say "if he had had" only if you would say "had" without "if he had"

Example:
"...had it in his hand."
"If he had had it in his hand."

For your sentence, you say "If he had worn the gear he wouldn't get hurt."

I hope you can understand!

@Tennen_Arisu Thanks a lot :), but could i say:-

If he had had protective gears on, he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Does it sound natural.
