In the future, no life insurance agency will ever cover [[Transporters and Teleporters|Teleporter]] Accidents. Why? Well to start, it may accidentally send you to [[Random Teleportation|Alpha Centauri instead of Mars]] in a mis-jump, you could wind up dozens (or hundreds, or thousands) of feet in the air, or if you slip you could suffer a [[Portal Cut]] and end up cut in two, then again if it's not there you'll suffer a [[Portal Slam]] as you hit the concrete, which is still far less painful than being teleported ''into solid matter'' and suffering a [[Tele Frag]].
All of which ''pales'' in comparison to what could happen when the teleporter itself malfunctions. If the [[Phlebotinum|Heisenberg compensators]] [[Techno Babble|are misaligned]], then you could come out as an inert mass of carbo-hydrates (or a ''[[And I Must Scream|screaming]]'' mass of carbo-hydrates), or it might hiccup and create an [[Evil Twin]] of you. Then again, the device may work by taking a [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|"short cut" through '''Hell''']], so everyone who uses it will [[Go Mad from the Revelation]]... and/or come out with an [[Eldritch Abomination]] on their heels. The possibilities are endless, and more often than not they are irreversible.
