Consent to harm by adults removes criminal liability for unintended, unforeseeably dangerous non fatal acts when risk is accepted. An act not intended, and not known by the doer to be likely, to cause death or grievous hurt is not an offence when committed with the consent of a person above eighteen, whether express or implied, or when the person has consented to take the risk of that harm; implied consent in mutually agreed activities (e.g., sport) negates criminal liability for ordinary injuries caused without foul play.
