Safety and Risk
Emergency Preparedness 3 levels of emergency
Level 1 – Minor Car Damaged, Minor Personal injury. Go to nearest waypoint.
Level 2 – Major Car Damage. Competition required to pick you up and drop you off at next waypoint.
Level 3 – Major personal injury. Medivac deployed and will transport back to closest base.
