16. For a variety of reasons, kink play is highly prone to emotional distraction

17. Most accidents are committed by people who are skilled and have become complacent with risk You or your partner are going to fuck up You’re probably going to get away with it But there will be times that you won’t

18. Do the best you can to assess risk properly Disclose any risk to your partner(s) before a scene – part of RACK Think about how your partner(s) will react Both tops and bottoms will benefit if they are comfortable enough with the other person to have an accident with them. Know what to do in case of an emergency
