Scroll to the bottom of the document on a new, empty line, and type the following command (we are using 2 seconds as an example):

sm_cvar survivor_max_incapacitated_count 3

You can change the number 3 to whatever maximum limit you want.

5 gives everyone a massive buffer before they actually die.

2 is the vanilla default setting.

0 creates an ultra-hardcore, instant-death server.
