The likelihood of harm occurring and how serious that harm could be.

Paper 1
Revise: Prevention of injuryPreventing injury means reducing the chance of harm, not making sport completely risk-free. Some precautions protect the performer, while others make the equipment, surroundings or competition safer.

Protective equipment reduces risk; it does not guarantee that injuries cannot occur.
