Axon Enterprise, Inc. (Axon) TASER energy weapon exposures are physically  strenuous and there is a risk of personal injury. BEFORE participating in any  TASER energy weapon voluntary exposure, each participant MUST read the  most current TASER energy weapon warnings and read and sign this form. 

This document incorporates all current TASER energy weapon warnings by  reference, which can be found at www.axon.com. This document is effective March  1, 2023, and supersedes all prior revisions. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND HEALTH INFORMATION 

Read, understand, and follow all current instructions, warnings, and relevant TASER  training materials before experiencing an energy weapon exposure. Failure to do so  could increase the risk of death or serious injury to the volunteer, instructor,  participants or others. Always follow all current instructions, warnings, and TASER  training materials to minimize energy weapon risks.  

ENERGY WEAPON EXPOSURES 

Voluntary Exposures. Energy weapon exposures must be limited to a single  exposure not exceeding 5 seconds and be performed in accordance with Axon’s guidelines and by a Certified TASER Instructor.1 

Probe Deployments to Back Only. Cartridge deployed probes must be to the back  of the torso or back of the legs only. 

Spotters. All persons taking an energy weapon exposure must be properly  supported by spotters to prevent falls unless lying down on a mat. Each spotter  must hold the person and support the arm under the armpit to prevent arm or  shoulder injuries.  

Eye Protection. Eye protection is required for the energy weapon operator,  observers, spotters and the person being exposed to any probe deployment during  ALL times. 

No Minors. No minor will be exposed to a TASER energy weapon as part of a  training course, demonstration, or otherwise. 

SAFETY INFORMATION: ENERGY WEAPON RISKS AND RISK AVOIDANCE Muscle Contraction or Strain-Related Injury. Energy weapons in  probe-deployment mode can cause muscle contractions that may result in injury,  including bone fractures. Energy weapons in probe-deployment mode can cause  muscle contractions resulting in injuries similar to those from physical exertion,  athletics, or sports, including hernia rupture, dislocation, tear, or other injury to soft  tissue, organ, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, disc, nerve, bone, or joint; or  injury or damage associated with or to orthopedic or other hardware. Fractures to  bone, including compression fracture to vertebrae, may occur. These injuries may  be more serious and more likely to occur in people with pre-existing injuries,  orthopedic hardware, conditions or special susceptibilities, including pregnancy; low  bone density; spinal injury; or previous muscle, disc, ligament, joint, bone, or tendon  damage or surgery. Such injuries may also occur in drive-stun applications or when  a person reacts to the energy weapon deployment by making a rapid or unexpected  movement. 

Secondary Injury. The loss of control resulting from an energy  weapon exposure may result in injuries due to a fall or other uncontrolled  movement. When possible, avoid using an energy weapon when secondary injuries  are likely. 

Seizure. Repetitive stimuli (e.g., flashing light or electrical stimuli) can induce  seizure in some people, which may result in death or serious injury. This risk may be  increased in a person with epilepsy, a seizure history, or if electrical stimuli pass  through the head. Emotional stress and physical exertion, both likely in incidents  involving energy weapon and other uses of force, are reported as seizure precipitating factors.  

Fainting. A person may experience an exaggerated response to an energy weapon exposure, or threatened exposure, which may result in fainting or falling. Muscle contraction, incapacitation, or startle response. Energy weapon use  may cause loss of control from muscle contraction, incapacitation, or startle  response. 

Cumulative Effects. Energy weapon exposure causes certain  effects, including physiologic and metabolic changes, stress, and pain. In some  individuals, the risk of death or serious injury may increase with cumulative energy  weapon exposure. Repeated, prolonged, or continuous energy weapon applications

may contribute to cumulative exhaustion, stress, cardiac, physiologic, metabolic,  respiratory, and associated medical risks which could increase the risk of death or  serious injury. Minimize repeated, continuous, or simultaneous exposures. Physiologic and Metabolic Effects. Energy weapon use causes physiologic  and/or metabolic effects that may increase the risk of death or serious injury. These  effects include changes in blood chemistry, blood pressure, respiration, heart rate  and rhythm, and adrenaline and stress hormones, among others. In human studies  of electrical discharge from a single energy weapon of up to 15 seconds, the effects  on acid/base balance, creatine kinase, electrolytes, stress hormones, and vital signs  were comparable to or less than changes expected from physical exertion similar to  struggling, resistance, fighting, fleeing, or from the application of some other force  tools or techniques. Some individuals may be particularly susceptible to the effects  of energy weapon use. These susceptible individuals include the elderly, those with  heart conditions, asthma or other pulmonary conditions, and people suffering from  excited delirium, profound agitation, severe exhaustion, drug intoxication or chronic  drug abuse, and/or over-exertion from physical struggle. In a physiologically or  metabolically compromised person, any physiologic or metabolic change may cause  or contribute to sudden death. 

Stress and Pain. Energy weapon use, anticipation of use, or response to use can  cause startle, panic, fear, anger, rage, temporary discomfort, pain, or stress which  may be injurious or fatal to some people. 

Minimize the number and duration of energy weapon exposures. Most human  energy weapon lab testing has not exceeded 15 seconds of energy weapon application, and none has exceeded 45 seconds. Use the shortest duration of  energy weapon exposure objectively reasonable to accomplish lawful objectives,  and reassess the subject’s behavior, reaction, and resistance before initiating or  continuing the exposure. If an energy weapon deployment is ineffective in  incapacitating a subject or achieving compliance, consider alternative control  measures in conjunction with or separate from the energy weapon. Avoid simultaneous energy weapon exposures. Do not use multiple energy  weapons or multiple completed circuits at the same time without justification.  Multiple energy weapons or multiple completed circuits at the same time could have  cumulative effects and result in increased risks. 

Avoid touching probes/wires during energy weapon discharge. Controlling and  restraining a subject during energy weapon exposure may put the energy weapon operator and those assisting at risk of accidental or unintended shock. Avoid  touching the probes and wires and the areas between the probes during the  electrical discharge. 

Cardiac Capture. Energy weapon exposure in the chest area near  the heart has a low probability of inducing extra heart beats (cardiac capture). In  rare circumstances, cardiac capture could lead to cardiac arrest. When possible,  avoid targeting the frontal chest area near the heart to reduce the risk of potential  serious injury or death. Cardiac capture may be more likely in children and thin  adults because the heart is usually closer to the energy weapon-delivered discharge  (the dart-to-heart distance). Serious complications could also arise in those with  impaired heart function or in those with an implanted cardiac pacemaker or  defibrillator. 

Use preferred target areas. The preferred target areas are below the neck area for  back shots and the lower center mass (below chest) for front shots. The preferred  target areas increase dart-to-heart distance and reduce cardiac risks. Back shots  are preferable to front shots when practicable. 

Avoid sensitive areas. When practicable, avoid intentionally targeting the energy  weapon on sensitive areas of the body such as the face, eyes, head, throat, chest  area (area of the heart), breast, groin, genitals, or known pre-existing injury areas. SAFETY INFORMATION: INJURY OR INFECTION 

Eye Injury Hazard. A TASER probe, electrode, or electrical  discharge that contacts or comes close to an eye can result in serious injury,  including permanent vision loss. DO NOT intentionally aim an energy weapon,  including the LASER, at the eye of a person or animal without justification. Probe or Electrode Injury, Puncture, Scarring, or Infection  Hazard. Energy weapon use may cause a permanent mark, burn, scar, puncture, or  other skin or tissue damage. Infection could result in death or serious injury.  

Representations inconsistent with this document made by any Certified TASER Instructor are expressly  disclaimed.

Volunteer: Warnings, Risks, Release &  Indemnification Agreement 

(For use with any TASER Energy Weapon exposure that is not  part of TASER Energy Weapon Training) 

Scarring risk may be increased when using an energy weapon in drive-stun mode.  Increased skin irritation, abrasion, mark, burning, or scarring may occur with an energy weapon with multiple cartridge bays when used in drive-stun or three-point  deployment modes.  

Penetration Injury. The TASER probe has a small dart point which  may cause a penetration injury to a blood vessel or internal organ, including lung,  bone, or nerve. The probe or dart point (which may detach or break) can puncture or  become embedded into a bone, organ, or tissue, which may require immediate  medical care, surgical removal, or may result in scarring, infection, or other serious  injury. 

SAFETY INFORMATION: ENERGY WEAPON DEPLOYMENT AND USE Energy weapons and cartridges are weapons, and as with any  weapon follow safe weapon-handling practices and store your energy weapon securely. Significant differences exist between different TASER energy weapon 

models. Before using any energy weapon, including a multi-shot energy weapon,  ensure you understand the functioning and effects of that model. Follow practices in  Axon’s TASER warnings and training materials. Failure to follow the warnings may  result in death or serious injury to the operator or others.  

Confusing Handgun with Energy Weapon. Confusing a handgun  with an energy weapon could result in death or serious injury. Learn the differences  in the physical feel and holstering characteristics between your energy weapon and  

your handgun to help avoid confusion. Always follow your agency’s Guidance and  training, if applicable.  

SAFETY INFORMATION: ENERGY WEAPON EFFECTIVENESS Subject Not Incapacitated. An ineffective energy weapon application could increase the risk of death or serious injury to the operator, the  subject, or others. If an energy weapon does not operate as intended or if subject is  not incapacitated, disengage, redeploy the energy weapon, or use other force  options. An energy weapon’s effects may be limited by many factors, including  absence of delivered electrical charge due to misses, clothing disconnect,  intermittent connection, or wire breakage; probe locations or spread; subject’s  muscle mass; or movement. Some of the factors that may influence the  effectiveness of energy weapon use in effecting or achieving control of a subject  include: 

Subject may not be fully incapacitated. Even though a subject may be affected  by an energy weapon in one part of his body, the subject may maintain full muscle  control of other portions of his body. Be prepared in case the subject is not fully  incapacitated.  

Subject may recover immediately. A subject receiving an energy weapon discharge may immediately regain physical or cognitive abilities upon cessation of  the delivered energy weapon discharge. Be prepared in case the subject  immediately recovers. 

Drive-stun mode is for pain compliance only. The use of a handheld energy  weapon in drive-stun mode is painful, but generally does not cause incapacitation.  Drive-stun use may not be effective on emotionally disturbed persons or others who  may not respond to pain due to a mind-body disconnect. Avoid using repeated  drive-stuns on such individuals if compliance is not achieved. 

SAFETY INFORMATION: GENERAL PRECAUTIONS 

Unintentional Energy Weapon Deployment or Discharge Hazard.  Unintentional energy weapon activation or unexpected cartridge discharge could  result in death or serious injury to the operator, subject, or others. Avoid static electricity. Keep cartridge away from sources of static electricity.  Static electricity can cause an energy weapon or standard cartridges to discharge  unexpectedly, possibly resulting in serious injury. 

Keep body parts away from front of energy weapon or cartridge. Always keep  your hands and body parts away from the front of the energy weapon and cartridge.  If the energy weapon discharges unexpectedly you could be injured.
