You make the decision to trust people with your safety. People only know what you tell them. If you have a hard limit or some condition that may become a problem during a scene and you do not tell your Top about it, the responsibility for that does not fall only on the Top if it becomes an issue during the scene. You are responsible for your physical and mental well-being and providing the information needed to care for you.

No one truly has “no limits” and saying you have no limits is not an attractive quality. It isn’t fair, reasonable, or responsible to place your wellbeing in the hands of another person without giving them some sense of how to take care of you. It suggests very strongly that you don’t actually know yourself very well, that you haven’t actually thought about things and thus are not taking this seriously.

Communicate your needs and limits before and during a scene. For example, nerve compression can happen in seconds and the only one who will know when it’s happening is the person experiencing it. It is your responsibility to be testing and to tell your rigger there is an issue. Because if you don’t, that’s on you.
