'''Hypothesize and synthesize carefully'''. Many areas of BDSM and kink lack peer-reviewed research, and that's why RACKWiki does not have a policy of No Original Research like [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:No_original_research|Wikipedia does]]. Be careful when creating factual content not directly attributable to a reference.
* '''Bad:''' Shock collars are safe to use on humans. ''[there is no research directly targeting this, so this is an opinion]''
* '''Better:''' In medical literature, there are no documented cases of shock collars directly causing fatalities or permanent injury on humans ''[this could be easily disproven by finding a single reference, so it's a fair statement to make]''. However, injuries may be caused by loss of muscular control, such as falling down when the collar is activated ''[probably no scientific reference, but a news story probably can be referenced if someone disputes this]''.
