Risk is the combination of the likelihood and the severity of an incident. A situation could be both unlikely but fatal, highly likely but not cause any injury, | Risk is the combination of the likelihood and the severity of an incident. A situation could be both unlikely but fatal, highly likely but not cause any injury, or something in between. Evaluating both aspects requires attention to details and knowledge of all factors in the situation. Individuals may reach different conclusions based on their personal experiences. Participants must ultimately decide their own risk acceptance levels based on the facts and their trust in other participants. | ||

Per NASA methodology, the estimated probability of occurrence informs the likelihood categorization. However this is difficult to assess for kink activities because of the lack of data. It is the responsibility of participants to determine the probabilities of the activities being assessed using their experience. | |||

Consider a hypothetical scene where a participant is suspended in a full body harness. Using general utility carabiners not rated for loads to support the suspended participant would have a higher likelihood of failure than a double bolt snap, which in turn have a higher likelihood of failure than a climbing carabiner with a high strength rating. Conversely, using general utility carabiners with simple squeeze gates for limb-only supports could enable faster release times than attachment devices requiring keyed or threaded unlocks. | Consider a hypothetical scene where a participant is suspended in a full body harness.

Most media do not depict the reality of scenes. Artistic license is often taken to frame and describe a scene in a way that appears to be more extreme than it actually is for the purpose of appealing to the audience's fantasies. In reality a responsible scene should have people off-camera, communication between participants, and safety equipment that is not visible to the viewer. | Most media do not depict the reality of scenes.
