Bodily injuries cannot be foreseen and guarded against by means of provisos.

Explanation

(English-origin maxim.) Contract clauses and provisos cannot anticipate or guard against every possible bodily harm — personal injuries are by nature unpredictable and require remedies beyond mere contractual terms.

Where this applies

• A waiver signed before a construction job cannot anticipate every possible way a worker might be injured on site.
• A contract clause saying "buyer assumes all risk" does not protect a manufacturer if their defective product causes a broken bone nobody foresaw.
• A gym's liability waiver cannot cover a ceiling collapse that injures members, because that kind of bodily harm is not the sort of risk a contractual proviso can guard against.
