I have been doing dry apnea alone for over 3 years now (not continuously!

) with no major accidents (touch wood!) but this is almost all dry static, not walking or gym. I almost always do dry statics lying down on a soft surface. I don't use a nose clip.
Although I have had a few blackouts/LMCs doing dry static, this has never resulted in injury.
I have been put off apnea walking and gym work, except for short distances and hypercapnic training, because of the possible risks. A head injury caused by falling could have as serious consequences as blacking out alone in the pool.
