What are common risks when using rope on a person? What can you do to try and avoid these common risks? What actions should you take immediately if one of these injuries occurs?

The intention of this section is to help people that have no medical training to be able to provide immediate assistance without causing more harm.

Again, we are not medical professionals, and this is not medical advice. These guidelines are based on the best information we had at the time of writing, based on the experiences of the rope community, our research, consultations with people that do have medical training, and advice from reputable online sources like Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic.

In the event of an injury, the best course of action is to seek medical assistance from a qualified provider.

We also recommend that everyone who is interested in bondage take a basic first aid and CPR course. They are good skills to have. Hopefully you will never need them.
