VOLUNTARY CHOICE. I acknowledge that Ranch Activities can be dangerous, and there are inherent hazards and risks involved in my participation in the Ranch Activities. I further acknowledge that I can be seriously injured, maimed, paralyzed, or even killed as a result of my participation and that there various pests, rodents, and insects (including without limitation scorpions, spiders, bees, and snakes) that inhabit Southern Nevada and may cause injury while engaging in the Ranch Activities. I desire to participate, and I have come to participate of my own free will and not due to any inducement or duress whatsoever. I understand that part of the required consideration for being allowed to participate is my execution of all the provisions of this Agreement. NATURE OF SPORT AND ASSUMPTION OF ALL ASSOCIATED RISKS.

I understand that I can be injured or killed, even if I do everything as I was instructed to do. I am accepting these and all other accompanying risks in order to be allowed to participate of my own free will and with full understanding of the possible consequences and potential dangers. HELMET. I understand that safety helmets are available and that I have been encouraged to wear such a helmet while engaging in the Ranch Activities involving horses or bulls.

I hereby acknowledge and affirm that, while inherently dangerous and risky, the Ranch Activities are not ultra hazardous activities for which one can be held strictly liable, nor are they activities that serve the public good or are in the public's interest. Rather, the Ranch Activities are recreational activities in which I am voluntarily participating for my own enjoyment. NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL. I understand that I am in no way obligated to sign this Agreement and, further, that I am free to seek the advice of independent legal counsel at my own expense prior to signing this Agreement and that any advice, suggestions, or statements made by any of the Released Parties are not binding upon them unless they are set forth in this Agreement.
