- There are a couple brief clips from an instructional video meant to show how sex can be performed by men with limited mobility. There is brief nudity, including a woman's backside and breasts. The nudity is in a sexual context but there is no sex performed or simulated in the video.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

- Bob describes having lost all four limbs to a sudden childhood illness; this clearly is a frightening idea to the children he explains it to. The other players also describe the mishaps that left them paralyzed.

- The game itself is extremely intense and rough.
