Rules to play Fencing
Responsibility of fencers
Fencers arm, equip and clothe themselves and fence at their own responsibility and at their own risk.The safety measures specified in the Rules and in the standards contained in the annex to them and the methods of control laid down in these Rules are only designed to increase the fencers safety and cannot guarantee it. They cannot, therefore, whatever the manner in which they are applied, impart responsibility to the FIE, or to the organisers of competitions, to the officials or personnel who carry out such organisation, or to those who may cause an accident.
