==Danger and safety precautions==
There is basic advice on precautions to take at a BDSM session. This includes never leaving the bound subject alone, never performing under the influence of alcohol or drugs and always having shears available to cut the rope in case there is an emergency.<ref name="Remedial Rope N">{{cite web |first1=Stephanos |first2=Shay |last1=Tizianos |last2=Tizianos |title=Introduction and basic risks – Remedial Ropes |url=https://www.remedialropes.com/basic-bondage-safety/introduction-and-basic-risks/ |website=Remedial rope |date=2019 |access-date=20 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190920121832/https://www.remedialropes.com/basic-bondage-safety/introduction-and-basic-risks/ |archive-date=20 September 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
*Restricting the blood flow. The symptoms are numbness, temperature drop and color change. This happens gradually and tissue damage takes place slowly; if noticed and acted upon quickly, permanent damage is unlikely.
::Most common is [[Vein|impaired venous return]], as the veins are closest to the surface. The skin becomes red, then purple. This is avoided by the two finger rule; where the tie is loose enough for two fingers to be placed under the rope. This becomes dangerous around the head and around the male genitals.
::[[Artery|Impaired arterial flow]], which is difficult to achieve, is more dangerous and results in the limb going white.<ref name="Remedial Rope C">{{cite web |first1=Stephanos |first2=Shay |last1=Tizianos |last2=Tizianos |title=Circulation – Remedial Ropes |url=https://www.remedialropes.com/basic-bondage-safety/circulation/bb |website=Remedial rope |date=2019 |access-date=20 September 2019 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
*Nerve damage is more serious, happens very quickly, is cumulative and often irreversible. Bondage practitioners should know the position of the nerves and place their rope to avoid them. Symptoms are pain, numbness or loss of feeling.
::The [[lateral femoral cutaneous nerve]] in the leg and the [[radial nerve]] in the mid-upper arm area are common sites of nerve injury. The knees, elbows, groin, and armpits are places where major arteries, veins, and nerves are near the surface and should be subjected to only moderate pressure.<ref name="Remedial Rope N"/>
* [[Asphyxiation]] is caused by restricting the airways round the neck and by compression of the lungs.<ref name="Remedial Rope A">{{cite web |first1=Stephanos |first2=Shay |last1=Tizianos |last2=Tizianos |title=Positioning and Location – Remedial Ropes |url=https://www.remedialropes.com/basic-bondage-safety/bondage-positioning-and-location/ |website=Remedial rope |date=2019 |access-date=20 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190920184813/https://www.remedialropes.com/basic-bondage-safety/bondage-positioning-and-location/ |archive-date=20 September 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
