For instance, events that cause participants to be in or on unsafe facilities carry substantial risk. Of particular concern are events that cause people to be on roofs. Numerous people have fallen off roofs and sustained serious injuries. Remember that you are responsible for injuries that occur because your event took place in an unsafe facility. If you are unsure whether an event could result in injuries, review past events at FSC or elsewhere.
Past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior.
For example, if a tackle football tournament has resulted in serious injuries, then this type of event obviously poses some risk. Eliminating or Reducing Risky Behavior Reducing risky behavior means finding ways to have a safer event. For example, a flag football tournament is safer than a tackle football tournament. Flag football may still result in injuries, but these injuries probably will be less numerous and serious than those resulting from tackle football. Similarly, an alcohol-free event is much safer than one at which alcohol is served.
