"No bestiality, prostitution or anything illegal". Well I think there needs to be some clarification. On the interest page there are selections for consuming bodily excretions, blood play, and other activities that could cause health problems. Yet there is no disclaimer beside these activities.
Flogging can cause health problems. Bondage can cause health problems. OTK spanking can cause health problems. Standing in the corner can cause health problems. It's all a matter of assessing risk, which is something we should each do for ourselves, imnsho.
As for legality, much of wiitwd do is illegal in most states and I'd suppose in other countries as well. You can't consent to assault in most places - just ask the folks at Cuffs who are dealing with that issue right now. Collarme, I assume, is simply covering their legal behinds.

If you're the one in control you have an obligation to look out for the health and safety of the person who is giving up their will to you.
I believe that bottoms are just as responsible for health and safety issues. They need to communicate any potential health issues to the top, and I think they should also be knowledgable about general anatomy and physiology and SM techniques in order to assess risks. We don't play in a vaccuum, and personal responsibility should be a fundamental aspect of wiitwd, imnsho.
