    PHYSICAL SAFETY
    Is about how our or our peers poor actions or decisions could harm us in a physical way. This is generally through physical injury eg. Concussion, cuts, broken bones. The worst case of physical injury in an outdoor setting is death. NOTE – The flip side is a positive environment where people are practicing responsible behaviours.

    EMOTIONAL SAFETY
    Is about how our or our peers poor actions or decisions could have a negative impact on our feelings. These feelings generally link to how safe we feel during an activity and how much we trust the people around us. This could have an impact on if we are willing to participate in the activity or not. NOTE – The flip side is a positive environment where people are practicing responsible behaviours.
