Understanding risks helps us make informed decisions and prevent adverse outcomes, but there are some risks that cannot be mitigated.

Tight restraints or prolonged immobilization can put pressure on nerves and restrict blood flow, potentially leading to nerve damage, numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the bound areas. Look out for wrist and foot drop, which can be permanent.
A core aspect of the wiki is the incident report system, so that we learn from our mistakes to save lives. Today, we're proud to publish our first incident report.
Thank you to all the volunteers who took time to speak and work with us on this.

When consciousness is lost due to hypoxia, the brain no longer communicates with the body normally and it is highly likely that a person will not let go of something they are holding.
