A member asked:
Could i potentially damage my back by having someone light walk on it.?

Probably not: While I do not recommend having someone walk on your back (you may incur bruising or rib subluxation), you are unlikley to have long-term or serious damage. That being said, it is possible, depending on the weight of the person walking on your back to incur serious injury.
