  • Negligent Staff: Improper training or negligence on the part of staff can create dangerous situations for guests.
  • Overcrowding: High guest volumes can lead to chaotic environments, increasing the likelihood of accidents and assaults.
  • Alcohol and Substance Abuse: Overconsumption of alcohol or drugs by guests or staff can result in aggressive behavior, accidents, and other dangerous incidents.
