You have to love the tazer legal forms
...in fact they have a book full of them

Volunteer Warnings, Risks, Liability Release and Covenant Not to Sue (These are just highlights read the full form here):
http://www.taser.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Controlled%20Documents/Warnings/LG-FORM-VOLUNTER-001%20REV%20B%20Volunteer%20Exposure%20Release.pdf

No Minors. Because of parental/guardian consent issues, no minor shall
be exposed to a TASER device.

Avoid Sensitive Areas. Significant injury can occur from TASER device
deployment into sensitive areas of the body such as the eyes, throat, or
genitals
—avoid intentionally targeting these areas without justification. :rofl:

Avoid Known Pre-Existing Injury Areas. When practical, avoid
deploying a TASER device at a known location of pre-existing injury
(e.g., avoid targeting the back for persons with known pre-existing back
injuries, avoid targeting the chest area on persons with a known history
of previous heart attacks, etc.). These injuries may be provoked by such
deployment.



Secondary Injury Risks. TASER-induced strong muscle contractions
usually render a subject temporarily unable to control his or her
psychomotor movements. This may result in secondary injuries such as
those due to falls. This loss of control, or inability to catch oneself, can in
special circumstances increase the risk(s) of serious injury or death.

Persons who are physically infirm or pregnant are among those who may
be at higher risk.
Also, persons who could fall on a sharp object (such as
persons holding a knife or other edged weapon) or suffer impact injuries
to their head or other sensitive area in a fall could also be at a higher risk.

Other persons at higher risk include: those located on elevated or
unstable platforms (e.g., trees, roofs, ladders, ledges, cranes, loading
docks), operating a vehicle or machinery, or those who are running.
Persons located in water may drown if their ability to move is restricted.

Strain Injury Risks. It is possible that the injury types may include, but
are not limited to
, strain-type injuries such as hernias, ruptures,
dislocations, tears, or other injuries to soft tissue, organs, muscles,
tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joints. Fractures to bones, including
vertebrae, may occur.
These injuries may be more likely to occur in
people with pre-existing injuries or conditions such as pregnancy,
osteoporosis, osteopenia, spinal injuries, diverticulitis, or in persons
having previous muscle, disc, ligament, joint, or tendon damage. It is
believed that the risk of these injuries is comparable to or less than the
risk(s) from vigorous physical exertion, such as weight training, wrestling,
or other intense athletic endeavors.



Laser Beam Eye Damage. The TASER device incorporates a laser
aiming aid. Laser beams can cause eye damage. Avoid intentionally
aiming at the eye(s) of a person or animal


Breathing Impairment. Extended or repeated TASER device exposures
should be avoided where practical.
Although existing studies on
conscious human volunteers indicate subjects continue to breathe during
extended TASER device applications, it is conceivable that the muscle
contractions may impair a subject's ability to breathe. In tests conducted
on anesthetized pigs repeated TASER device applications did cause
cessation of breathing during TASER device discharges,
although it is
unclear what impact the anesthesia or other factors may have had on the
test results. Accordingly, it is advisable to use expedient physical
restraint in conjunction with the TASER device to minimize the overall
duration of stress, exertion, and potential breathing impairment
particularly on individuals exhibiting symptoms of excited delirium and/or
exhaustion. However, it should be noted that certain subjects in a state of
excited delirium may exhibit superhuman strength and despite efforts for
expedient restraint, these subjects sometimes cannot be restrained
without a significant and profound struggle.

Permanent Vision Loss. If a TASER probe becomes embedded in an
eye, it could result in permanent loss of vision.


Instructor and User Warnings, Risks, Liability Release and Covenant Not to Sue (Its pretty much the same except some wording is different). http://www.taser.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/Controlled%20Documents/Warnings/LG-FORM-INSTRUCT-002%20%20REV%20E%20Instructor%20and%20User%20Exposure%20Release.pdf
