if we want to justify our rights to have free parties, then we must show we can look after ourselves.
With all physical actitivies some accidents will happen - but many can be avoided.
If you take drugs, they can affect your coordination and you may over-estimate your physical capabilities or endurance. Consider this when exploring buildings and fields, scaling any structure, particularly quarries, walls and high places. It may be unwise to do this on your own, particularly if you are under the influence of psychedelics
in the hot summer, lakes and rivers may be inviting, but they can contain hazards, be very cold and can be contaminated (sewage is still dischanged into some rivers, and many are used for fly tipping and drowning stolen vehicles.) Swimming can also be harder "under the influence!"
if any medical emergency happens at a rave and the Ambulance Service is called, the Police will attend as well. This is a standard Emergency Service procedure nowadays as sadly too many people attack paramedics and they now feel they need protection when dealing with situations where there are drug users.
parties are not a place to prove yourself or settle scores. If you want to fight, stay in the town and city pubs.If free parties ever become as violent as pubs/clubs, their justification is instantly removed as they could degenerate into a place where wannabe machos and gangsters have their turf wars, when the NHS end up picking up the pieces they tell the old bill about this. Paramedics don't sign the hippocratic oath unlike doctors and many of them have no problem wilth telling the old bill when they suspect injuries are caused by violence. Blue lights stay together...
There is no justification for bringing replica BB guns, air rifles or any kind of firearm to a party. If you own these items legitimately and want to shoot then do so in a less crowded place with a small group of sober friends. They are not toys to show off or play with at raves - at the very least people can be hurt by stray rounds, at worst if the cops see them they could launch an armed response to shut down the rave.
Lets make this summer one where as much as possible the emergency medical technicians can sit in front of the canteen telly on Sunday watching casualty, and the Air Ambulance stays on its helipad rather than being sent to a remote part of the country to pick up someones broken body.
