Falls which can result in serious or fatal injury.
Serious or fatal injury caused due to negligence on my part, my training partner, or other people around me. Serious or fatal injury due to improper use or failure of equipment.
Serious or fatal injury that may result simply from the fact of Physical Training itself. By its very nature Physical Training seeks to produce physical adaptations to the body. This requires me to give feedback to my coach/trainer regarding what is happening with my body. Excessive work can result (in rare cases) in Exertional Rhabdomyolysis. I should look for signs of excessive soreness, darkened urine, and pain in the kidney areas in the days following a particularly intense workout. While this type of injury is relatively rare, it can occur due to a number of factors including, but not limited to 1. Genetic predisposition
2. Training after a prolonged break from Physical Activity, having previously been physically active. 3. Dehydration that may be beyond the control of my coach/trainer.
I am aware that any of these above mentioned risks may result in serious or fatal injury to me and/or my peer(s).
