Are all injuries predictable and preventable? Are there occasions when an injured player should still be 'in the game'? How do you know if a risk is worth the potential consequences? What are personal responsibilities regarding safety in each dimension?). |

(e) |
Evaluate risks and safety factors (i.e., physical safety, social safety, psychological safety, spiritual safety, environmental safety) that may affect activity choices (e.g., What are some physical activity options that are safe to participate in when one has a broken leg?) and preferences. |
