Rules in sport safety exist to protect participants by reducing the risk of injury and guiding safe conduct. They set what is allowed, what protective gear must be used, and what to do if someone is hurt, which helps keep everyone safer during activity. For example, limiting dangerous tackles in contact sports and requiring protective equipment lowers the chance of serious harm. While rules can affect how fast a game is played or how a team strategizes, their main purpose is to keep players safe, not to increase speed, guarantee victory, or make the sport more difficult.
