Can you use a rage room when pregnant?

At many venues the answer is no. Of the 232 rage rooms in this directory, 29 list a pregnancy rule. The rule is usually that pregnant guests may not take part, or that taking part isn't recommended.

The wording varies. Some venues bar pregnant guests outright. Some apply the rule to anyone who may be pregnant. A few offer a different activity, such as a paint or splatter room, to a guest who can't use the smash room.

Why venues set the rule

A session means swinging a bat, crowbar or sledgehammer, breaking glass and other objects, and moving quickly in a small room. Venues that explain the rule point to that physical activity. Each venue sets its own policy, and the policy usually sits next to the waiver you sign before you start.

What to do before you book

• Read the venue's rules or FAQ page and look for a pregnancy or health section.
• Ask the venue directly if the rules don't mention it. Venues can tell you what they allow.
• Ask your doctor whether the activity is suitable for you. This site gives information, not medical advice.
