Curling, a sport played on ice, has obvious potential for injury. Members should be aware of this potential and, by participating, accept this inherent risk in the sport and are responsible for their own actions.

One possible injury that may be sustained is concussion resulting from a fall on the ice. Information on concussion, intended for the general public and for grassroots sport participants (where specialists in sport and exercise medicine may not be available to manage concussed individuals) has been issued by Sport Scotland. This guidance is attached :
