What are your safety rules?
General Safety Rules Always stay in sight & sound of Quest Leader Do not hurt people with our words – no name-calling or put-downs No climbing higher than waist-level No swimming Follow illness & covid protocols Swasher Safety Rules Play lightly and safely. Do not swing or tag hard. Keep the Swasher in front of you (no baseball bat style swings) Tag with the thin padded edge only. Do not slap with the flat of the blade or tag with the hilt. Do not tag the head, neck, groin, or any place that is susceptible to injury. Do not throw Swasher – Swasher must be held in a hand at all times. Do not duel in anger – if angry, set the Swasher down and tell Quest Leader. If someone calls out "Time-out!" or "Freeze", immediately stop the duel and wait until "time-in" is called before dueling again Do not duel when someone has fallen down – automatic "time-out" until they are on their feet and ready to duel Do not try to hold the swasher with anything besides the hands – no holding with the armpits, legs, chin, or mouth Get consent before dueling – say "I challenge you to a duel" or "do you want to duel?" and only duel if they say "yes" or "I accept". If they say "no" or don't say anything at all, we cannot even touch them Do not tag anyone not playing our game Do not tag nature (the ground, trees, rocks, etc) Do not get Swasher wet. Do not lean on Swasher or use it as a walking stick.
