Hobo Kits
Where are the safe places?
How to get into Second Life without really trying
Two things this question could be about: damage places and griefers.

Damage places
Land can be set so that avatar can have "damage" and even be "killed." Being "killed" simply gets the avatar sent home. None of the places that we are listing in the Hobo Kit allow damage at this time and they are not likely to in the future. You can recognize a region that allows damage by the red heart in the top menu bar. Damage/safe settings are done by land parcel, so if you are flying around into areas you don't know, you may want to watch out for the red heart.

Another land setting you might pay attenton to is the "no push" symbol. it is an arrow pushing an avatar with a red crossed circle by it. This setting means the land is set to be especially non-violent.

Griefers
These can appear anywhere. They are not common except at large gatherings. Experienced users will eject and ban them from the area, file and abuse report, and/or use some counter-methods. The best thing a newcomer can do is to teleport elsewhere.
