What is the cause of an axe-throwing accident in Sacramento?

All parties involved in the axe throwing activity, including bystanders, customers, training experts, and other employees must exercise proper protocol and safety throughout the entire activity. This means constantly supervising everybody around and making sure that there is a safe distance between the customer and the target. Below are common causes of axe throwing accidents:

• Improper staff training: all employees at an axe throwing venue must have intensive training, which addresses how to teach customers, and how to address an incident.
• Improper maintenance of venue: a venue must also be maintained, and inspected for any dangerous conditions. Axes could come apart, and there could be flying debris. There must be a constant inspection for any debris on the floor that could be a future potential trip and fall or a slip and fall lawsuit.
• Improper maintenance of axes: access must always be maintained, and they should be pre-approved axes. Axes brought from outside the venue should not be allowed on the venue. There are specific requirements when it comes to axes, and venues must always follow proper protocol.
• Lack of supervision: the venue must always be supervised every hour of the day with properly trained employees. The venue may also have surveillance videos recording the activities. The more employees on the floor and supervising the customers, the less chance of an incident.
• Other negligent parties: there may be circumstances where customers themselves could be fooling around and throwing the axe around without any caution or care. This could increase the chance of an incident. 
• Under the influence of alcohol or drugs: venues must refrain from serving alcohol or drugs to customers at axe throwing activities since it could impair a person’s judgment and coordination, which could lead to injuries.
