Section 8: Safety Considerations

Safety is paramount in Freeze Tag due to the high-speed running and sudden stops involved. Players must prioritize safety over winning.

Running and Movement

Watch Your Step: Players should be aware of their footing, especially on grass or uneven ground. Running too fast can lead to slips and falls.
Clear the Path: Players should avoid running into other players, especially those who are frozen and standing still. A collision with a frozen player can cause injury.
Stop and Wait: When a player is frozen, they must stand still. They should not try to move or dodge the "It" player.
