Translations:Rooftop Gatherings/10/en

Guests often underestimate their own role in how a rooftop evening is experienced by people who are not attending it. Noise, smoke, and movement through stairwells all reach residents who did not choose to be part of the event. Attentive guests tend to be conscious of this without being asked.

| Safety=Rooftops carry physical risks that other social settings do not. Edges, low parapets, uneven surfaces, skylights, and unlit corners are all common. Older buildings may have roof structures never intended for group use. Awareness of these features is a reasonable expectation for anyone hosting or attending, and hosts frequently note that pointing out the boundaries of safe space early is easier than correcting behaviour later.
