What is the recommended target area for minimizing the risk of hitting sensitive body areas?

The recommended target area for using a Taser, such as the Taser 7, is the back. Targeting the back minimizes the risk of striking sensitive areas of the body, such as the head and neck, which can pose greater risks and potential for causing serious injury. The back provides a larger and safer surface area for the deployment of the device while maintaining the effectiveness of the Taser.

When using a Taser, users are trained to avoid sensitive areas where serious medical consequences could occur. The stomach, while somewhat permissible, does not provide the same level of safety as the back. Similarly, the thigh can also be a viable target, but it may not be as effective as the back in terms of incapacitating an individual. By focusing on the back, operators can effectively incapacitate a subject with lower risks of severe injury or complications.
