In consideration for the WNW/WWZ permitting me to use the premises including the bouldering walls, ropes courses, warped wall, nerf activities and other obstacles and fitness facilities located indoors or outdoors, as well as, participation in indoor or outdoor trips, I have agreed to execute this Release of Liability and Assumption of Risks (the “Release”). I hereby acknowledge and accept and agree THAT NINJA WARRIOR TRAINING AND NERF ACTIVITIES AND OBSTACLES AND/OR OTHER ACTIVITIES AT OR ORGANIZED BY THE WNW/WWZ INVOLVE INHERENT RISKS. I received full information regarding the use of the Facilities and had the opportunity to ask any questions that I wished. Further, I have had the opportunity to examine the Facilities and have full knowledge of the nature and extent of all the risks associated with obstacle training and the use of the Facilities including, but not limited to: a. All manner of injury resulting from my falling off or from the Obstacle Course and hitting the floor, wall, wall faces and/or holding covers, people or rope projections, whether permanently or temporarily in place; b. Rope abrasion, entanglement and other injuries resulting from activities on or near the Obstacle Course, including, but not limited to, climbing, belaying, rappelling, lowering on ropes, rescue systems, and any other rope techniques; c. Injuries resulting from the actions or omissions of others including, but not limited to, falling climbers or dropped items, such as, but not limited to, ropes, climbing hardware, wall parts, broken or loose holds, or personal effects; d. Cuts and abrasions resulting from skin contact with the Obstacle Course or any other surface; e. Failure or misuse of ropes, slings, harnesses, climbing holds, anchor points, or any part of the Obstacle Course or any other surface; f. Failure to follow the WNW/WWZ employee’s instructions or failure to ask for information or assistance; g. Failure to use the Obstacle Course or other surface without proper certification when necessary; h. Dangers and injuries that may exist due to inclement weather. I further acknowledge that the above list is not a comprehensive recitation of all possible risks associated with the use of the Facilities and I agree that such list in no way limits the extent or reach of this Release of Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risks form. If, while using the Facilities, I see or hear anything that I feel is questionable or dangerous, it is my responsibility to inform a WNW/WWZ employee and follow appropriate procedures and instructions thereby given. I expressly agree and hereby promise to accept and assume all the risks associated with the sport of ninja warrior obstacle course climbing and training at the Facilities, both known and unknown.

For advanced usage of the Facilities, individuals must pass a certification test. I understand that if I need additional assistance, orientation, instruction, training or assessment during my participation at the Facilities at any future time that it is my responsibility to seek such assistance, orientation, instruction, training or assessment from The WNW/WWZ staff prior to participating in any activity for which I am not trained or qualified.
