All the risks below are possibilities of the listed activity. They are listed in no particular order. Please do not consider it to be exhaustive or use it as your sole determining factor when it comes to your safety. Some risk possibilities must nearly always be considered; a few of these can be found here. Additionally, please note that the list below does not account for acts of intentional malice or for every complicating medical condition.

Possible mitigation strategies or more information sometimes appear under risks when given. These should not be considered solutions that bring a risk to 0%, nor should they be considered the only possible solutions or information. Likewise, lack of a mitigation strategy or research being listed does not mean none exists.

Muscle strain, tear, and limb dislocations

Allergic reaction to TENS pads

Heart attack

Activation of heart problems players were not aware of

Death

Impact to pacemakers or other internal medical devices

Routing to any currently bleeding wounds on the body and making a path to the heart that way

Temporary incontinence

Miscarriage or other fetal harm when playing with pregnant people—amniotic fluid is a conductor.

Electricity, including TENS, is officially not recommended by the UK National Health Service for those with electrical/metal implants, pregnant people, those with epilepsy, or those with heart problems
