Armored Combat notes:Inspecting equipment

Notes - Inspecting equipment

Marshal's role is to check compliance - March 2018

As a marshal, you are not guaranteeing or certifying that anything is completely safe, and its use is without risk. You are inspecting to see whether the item (helmet, armor, weapon, how the armor sits on the fighter, etc.) complies with our published standards or not. Properly carrying out your duties as an officer of the SCA and a marshal will indemnify you in case the corporation or its officers (of which you are one) are sued.

Helm off inspection - March 2018

Padding and suspension systems degrade over time with use and wear and may need to be repaired or replaced, so marshals should inspect these.
