The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Safety

The set of considerations by which rope is placed and monitored to avoid nerve injury.

Definition

Nerve Safety is the domain of practice concerned with avoiding damage to peripheral nerves through rope placement and tension. It is one of the most emphasised safety topics in contemporary rope teaching.

Discussion

This entry names the domain; specific instruction is a matter for qualified teachers, not for the Lexicon.
