a question for the lawyers in our group, can a competent adult, in the u s of a, consent to having great bodily harm performed upon their person?

legal definition of great bodily harm in California - http://www.shouselaw.com/gbi.html

if my memory serves me, the answer is no
 
In the UK masochists were prosecuted for GBH when the police found a video, even though all of the people involved were consenting and enjoying themselves.
