Acknowledgment of Risks I understand and acknowledge that engaging in ninja warrior obstacle courses and parkour activities involves various known and unpredictable risks that may result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, permanent disability, death, property damage, or injuries to third parties. These risks may arise from actions or inactions on my minor child's part, the actions or inactions of others, or the inherent nature of the activities at AIM. I recognize that the risks associated with AIM activities include, but are not limited to: - Slips, trips, and falls, including falls from elevated equipment.
- Collisions with other participants, equipment, or objects.
- Physical strains and sprains, fractures, bruises, cuts, head, neck, and back injuries.
- Potential for dehydration, nerve damage, and other bodily harm.
- Possible equipment malfunction or failure.
- Risks related to my minor child's physical condition and ability to engage in these activities.
- Emotional or psychological stress.
I further understand that AIM staff strive to maintain a safe environment but may be unaware of individual participant fitness levels, may provide incomplete warnings, and that equipment may not always perform as expected. 1. Assumption of Risk I acknowledge the inherent dangers associated with these activities and voluntarily choose to have my minor child participate, fully accepting and assuming all such risks, both known and unknown. 2.

Insurance and Responsibility for Medical Costs I certify that I carry adequate health, accident, and personal liability insurance to cover any potential injuries or damages my minor child may cause or suffer while participating at AIM. If my minor child is not insured, I agree to bear all costs of any injury or damage incurred, including medical expenses. 5. Jurisdiction and Venue I agree that any dispute or claim arising from my minor child's participation in AIM activities will be governed by Virginia law and resolved exclusively in the courts of Virginia, regardless of any other state’s laws or conflict of law principles. 6.

This media may be used in any promotional materials, including but not limited to social media, website content, and other marketing channels. I understand that no monetary compensation will be provided for the use of these images or recordings, and that this consent is granted in perpetuity. If I am not the parent or legal guardian of the Minor, I confirm that I have obtained their consent to grant this media release on their behalf. 8.
