When someone says ''Kutt'' (Norwegian for 'cut'), role-playing must stop immediately and players who hear the "kutt" must do whatever they can to assist in resolving the situation.
'''Kutt ''' is the most commonly used safety rule in Nordic larp. It is often employed together with [[Brems]] as a bare-bones structure for managing risk and handling emergencies at larp.
== Kutt as emergency safe-word ==
For these reasons, Kutt is seen as an incomplete solution to the challenges of physical and psychological safety at larps. But some of the challenges can be overcome through pre-larp training and a supporting etiquette.
== Training for Kutt ==
A typical Kutt training session has players practicing using the safe-word in loud and chaotic circumstances. For example, players may be asked to shout at each other louder and louder until someone says "Kutt". After a first round demonstrating the difficulties of having "kutt" heard, an additional rule is introduced: whenever someone says kutt, help them by repeating it.
== Kutt etiquette ==
* It is your right and duty to say "Kutt" whenever you think it might be appropriate
* You do not question the reason for or necessity of other players use of "kutt", neither during nor after the larp.
