While no one has EVER drowned in a float tank, we do have some proactive restrictions: Epileptics must disclose their epilepsy to us, be on medication, and have a note from their doctor saying they are safe to float. Please do not come under the influence of alcohol or drugs, with infectious diseases or with open skin wounds. While infectious diseases stand no chance of survival and propagation in the float tank, we want to protect the environment around it. Individuals under the age of 16 must have a legal guardian present to float.
