Section 90 of the [[Austrian criminal code]] declares bodily injury (Sections 83–84) or the endangerment of physical security (Section 89) to not be subject to penalty in cases in which the victim has consented and the injury or endangerment does not offend moral sensibilities. Case law from the Austrian Supreme Court has consistently shown that bodily injury is only offensive to moral sensibilities, thus it is only punishable when a "serious injury" (damage to health or an employment disability lasting more than 24 days) or the death of the "victim" results. A ''light injury'' is generally considered ''permissible'' when the "victim" has consented to it. In cases of threats to bodily well-being, the standard depends on the probability that an injury will occur. If serious injury or even death would be a likely result of a threat being carried out, then even the threat itself is considered punishable.<ref name='Aus'>{{Cite web |url=http://www.legislationline.org/download/action/download/id/6386/file/Germany_CC_am2016_de.pdf |title=Strafgesetzbuch (StGB) |website=Legislation Online |access-date=25 May 2018 |language=de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419105057/https://www.legislationline.org/download/action/download/id/6386/file/Germany_CC_am2016_de.pdf |archive-date=19 April 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
