Parkour training has inherent risks. Injuries of various severity can and do happen during parkour training. Certain practices can minimize these risks, but they cannot be completely eliminated. In fact, many of the benefits of parkour training can be directly attributed to risk taking and the development of sound judgment by participants. If participants are not willing to accept the risk of injury, they should refrain from attending a parkour class or training session.

During classes and other training sessions, coaches will present physical challenges to participants. Participants can choose whether or not to engage in these challenges at their own risk. Some challenges may be outside the ability of a participant, in which case that participant should choose not to engage in the challenge. If a participant chooses not to engage, a coach may or may not offer an alternative challenge for consideration by the participant, at the coach’s discretion.

Coaches reserve the authority to restrict engagement in certain activities by certain participants during classes and training sessions. If a coach perceives unnecessary risk by a participant, the coach may restrict that participant from engaging in the activity.

In the case of injury to a participant, coaches make no guarantee of emergency response or medical care.

Ultimately, the safety of participants depends on their own judgment and level of risk tolerance while training.
