The UK Kink GuideEvidence-led glossaryA consensual adult activity involving standing or stepping on another person's body, sometimes associated with pressure, footwear, worship or power exchange.
Manual claim and limitation notes are shown where an individual source audit is complete. Other evidence-type labels are a publisher aid awaiting source-by-source confirmation.
Sensation & activity

In brief
Trampling concentrates body weight through feet or footwear and can injure skin, nerves, joints, ribs, the spine or internal organs. Risk varies with anatomy, health, surface, balance, footwear, force and duration, and visual control cannot reliably show what tissue is tolerating. This entry defines the term and supports informed refusal; it deliberately does not teach technique or identify supposedly safe body targets.
Name the activity directly and discuss health conditions, mobility, pain, footwear, stopping and emergency response. Consent to foot worship, domination or lying down does not include standing on the body.
A participant must be able to stop immediately and must never be immobilised so they cannot signal or move. Intoxication and impaired sensation make meaningful monitoring less reliable.
Consent to foot worship, domination or lying down does not include standing on a body. Health, stopping and emergency response require separate discussion.

Consensual attention to feet that need not involve weight-bearing or pressure.
Imagined or performed imagery that can be represented without real force.
A separate practice with clinical or wellbeing aims; it does not validate trampling methods.
Small contact areas and hard heels can concentrate force, while loss of balance can turn a planned load into an uncontrolled fall. Chest, abdomen, neck, spine and joints contain structures vulnerable to serious injury.
This card does not designate safe zones, loads or durations. Body size, fitness or previous tolerance cannot guarantee safety on another occasion.
Footwear can concentrate force and a balance loss can create an uncontrolled fall. This card does not designate safe targets, loads or durations.
Illustration created using generative AI; not documentary evidence.Bone fragility, anticoagulants, pregnancy, recent surgery, implanted devices, hernia, circulatory or neurological conditions and reduced sensation can increase or conceal harm. Individual clinical advice is more appropriate than community rules.
Stop for pain, numbness, weakness, breathing difficulty, chest or abdominal symptoms, dizziness or visible injury. Severe symptoms, collapse or worsening pain require urgent medical assessment.
Photography, perspective, sound design, acting or non-weight-bearing foot imagery can represent the theme without placing body weight on a person.
There is little direct research establishing trampling risk thresholds. General crush, fall and musculoskeletal evidence cannot produce a universal safe technique.
Photography, acting and non-weight-bearing imagery can represent the theme without standing on a person. Sparse evidence cannot produce a universal safe technique.
