What was done to improve the safety of jousts after the death of Henry II?

I can't speak for France, but in England the tilts continued.

People often forget that Henry VIII had been very handsome indeed before his legs, crushed and stinking from a jousting accident, made him so miserable and in turn, cruel to others.

But, it was great spectacle and sport!
