Em, upright spear traps with wooden training spears, linked to the lever with mechanisms and it should work without anyone getting injured

@Gaybarowner
Just to be clear, you have built upright spike traps loaded with weapons, linked a lever to them, made the soldiers stand on the spikes, and then pulled the lever? It will not work if any of these steps is neglected...

@Tolisk
If your soldiers are wearing at least leather armor all over and you've only loaded the traps with *TRAINING* weapons, then you should hardly see any injuries at all; I think the worst I've ever seen is a broken toe. They will maim or kill civilians in civilian clothing, though...

I plinked a baby, once in a danger room.  Little fella survived, and got a legendary toughness, as a result of all the hospital time.  Then he died of a failed mood.  Ugg.  I had high expectations for that lil fella... Oh well.  (FUN).

Yeah, build an encircled weapon rack with upright triggered, training spear traps, then link each one of those to a pressure plate, which you logistically position in a high footfall hallway.  Set that to trip on civilian contact, right outside your booze room, for example.  Man, those spears will go up and down when linked to a pressure plate outside your booze room, let me tell you.  HA!  *hiccup*  Another nice place to put your repeat trigger pressure plate is just inside the maingate, then paint H toll, over it, and L toll next to it.  This will ensure passing dwarfs step ontop of it, to trigger the spikes.  To avoid casualties paint the dangeroom R toll, so you don't lose any passing haulers. 

Take care, Knutor

I never got a dwarven casualty with training weapons for the danger room. Got plenty of dead babies and pets but.
