The Safe Settings Campaign

The vast majority of deaths and medical emergencies stemming from raves and nightclubs are the result of heat stroke and are easily preventable.

Promoters. Now is the time to...
Reduce the Heat!

Become a Cool Promoter and prevent heat stroke by adopting the following Safe Settings guidelines

Two reasons why you should adopt these guidelines?

Reason #1: Reducing the heat protects the health and safety of your patrons and shows that you are a responsible promoter who cares about more than just making money.

Reason #2: You will reduce the "heat" currently being felt by everyone in the rave community. Heat stroke emergencies are being misreported in the media as "ecstasy overdoses." This dangerous misconception not only jeopardizes the lives of young people, but also adds fuel to current "anti-rave" sentiments across the country. Reducing medical emergencies by implementing these safe settings guidelines is good public relations. (For more information on the current media frenzy around raves and ecstasy, see our media page.)

The Safe Settings Guidelines

(special thanks to RaveSafe for contribution to these guidelines.)

Provide free and accessible cold drinking water.
Have adequate ventilation and/or air conditioning.
Have a separate chill-out room with comfortable seating.
Don't overcrowd your venues. Take steps if areas get too crowded.
For indoor events, provide secure and efficient coat check services (coats increase heat stroke potential).
Have at least one staff member present who is trained and qualified in basic first aid.
For parties over 500 people, have present a licensed and equipped EMT or paramedic on duty.
Have a private medical room or tent where emergency cases can be dealt with.
Make available free harm reduction literature about drug use, safer xes, driving home safely, preventing heat stroke, and other safety issues. (You can order literature directly from DanceSafe.)
Allow harm reduction organizations free entry to distribute literature and provide drug abuse prevention services.
Have a clearly displayed policy about searching.
Maintain the right to search patrons' outside clothing, pockets and bags.
Don't allow entry to any patron who refuses to be searched.
Enforce age limits when applicable.

the worst yg pernah gw alamin selama rave di indonesia adalah pas Heineken Thirst 2005.
susahnya beli minum dan bottled water udah abis jam 1-2 an. terpaksa temen2 gw jalan jauh keluar dan beli air dari luar.
That was borderline criminal act by the EO. Coba kalo ada yg mati karena heatstroke.
Kalo nggak salah EO-nya Nepathya, dan seharusnya kan mereka udah pengalaman banget.

Sebaliknya, terlalu banyak minum air dalam waktu pendek juga bisa menyebabkan kematian (paling terkenal adalah kematian Leah Betts karena terlalu banyak minum air dan menyebabkan "hyponatremia"

dari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDMA :
"Acute dehydration is a risk among users who are highly physically active and forget to drink water, as the drug may mask one's normal sense of exhaustion and thirst. Also the opposite, "water intoxication," resulting in acute hyponatremia, has been reported as a consequence of use."

dari http://www.dmt123.com/general-health-care/1456-dmt123.html  :
" Is it true that someone died because he drank too much water and flushed out all the essential minerals?
Yes. The condition that occurs is called water intoxication. It can cause another condition called hyponatremia,. It occurs when the amount of liquid you are ingesting dilutes the liquids in your body and your sodium levels drop to a dangerously low level.

"Drinking excess water in the absence of dietary sodium results in hyponatremia, an overdilution of sodium in the blood plasma, which in turn causes an osmotic shift of water from the blood plasma into brain cells. The brain cells swell as result of osmotic pressure, and will ultimately cease to function."

dari http://www.mdma.net/ecstasy/excess.html :

"Panicking users, fearing they are overdosing, drink too much water and provoke hyponaetraemia (water-poisoning). Leah Betts died after drinking 14 pints in just 90 minutes. The recommended amount of water to drink per hour is one pint"

kalau kita dance intensive, paling bagus sih minum air atau fruit juice dan sekali2 minuman isotonik (seperti pocari, powerade, gatorade) setiap 15-30 menit sekali atau dua kali tegukan.

SAYANGNYA, jarang sekali clubs atau dance parties disini yg menyediakan fruit juice dalam botol dan minuman isotonik.
