jeopardies
States of peril
Jeopardies is the plural of jeopardy, meaning dangers or risks of harm, loss, or failure.
The word appears most often in legal contexts, where double jeopardy prevents being tried twice for the same offense.
Multiple jeopardies would be separate instances of peril: The climbers faced the jeopardies of altitude, weather, and avalanche.
