- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY - 1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK 1. I am aware that my child's participation in the activities of climbing, bouldering, belaying and rappelling (the "Activities") has many inherent risks, dangers and hazards, including but not limited to the following: a) injury resulting from slips or falls on footholds, handholds, uneven floors and surfaces, decks, padding or mats;
b) injury resulting from collision with features such as protruding rocks, ledges, edges, railings, access ladders or any other permanent or temporary fixture;
c) injury resulting from the use, misuse, non-use and failure of any of the equipment used, including but not limited to ropes, slings, harnesses, climbing hardware and anchor points or any part of the climbing structure (the "Equipment");
d) rope abrasion, entanglement and other injury which results from the use of ropes;
e) injury resulting from collisions with other participants; or
f) injury resulting from falling climbers or dropped items or equipment; g) infectious disease contracted through viruses, bacteria and parasites, which may be transmitted through direct or indirect contact. (Collectively, the "Risks") 2. I understand and will instruct my child that all applicable rules for participation, including the Facility's Climbing Centre Rules and the age restrictions on the Activities, must be followed and that at all times the sole responsibility for personal safety remains with my child. 3. I have satisfied myself and believe that my child is physically, emotionally and mentally able to participate in the Activities. I will notify a Facility employee if my child has any condition or requires any medication that may affect my child's ability to participate in the Activities or which may affect my child's interactions with employees or other users of the Facility. 4. I will direct my child to obey any instructions that my child may receive from Facility employees regarding the activities. I acknowledge on my child's behalf that the Glencoe will not be responsible for any injury that occurs as a result of my child's failing to obey Facility employees. 5. I authorize the Glencoe to consent to emergency medical treatment in accordance with the best interests of my child should I not be present at the relevant time to grant consent myself. 2. WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION 1. In consideration of the Glencoe allowing my child's participation in the Activities, I agree: a) to waive my right to pursue any claim against The Glencoe Club, its directors, officers, agents, trainees and employees (collectively the "Releasees"), resulting from my participation in the Activities;
b) to indemnify, release, and forever discharge the Releasees from any and all demands, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, costs, fees, claims or causes of action whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and own client basis resulting from or arising out of my participation in the Activities or my use of the facilities due to any cause whatsoever; and
c) to indemnify, release and forever discharge the Releasees from any and all demands, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, costs, fees, claims or causes of action whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and own client basis for any damage to the property of or personal injury (including death) to any third party resulting from my negligence, except to the extent that the demands, suits, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, expenses, costs, fees, claims or causes of action are caused by the gross negligence of the Releasees.2. This agreement shall be effective and binding upon my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators, assigns and representatives in the event of my death or incapacity.
I certify that I am 18 years old or older and the parent or legal guardian of the minor member named in this agreement. I have carefully read this Assumption of Risks, Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims and Indemnity Agreement and had an opportunity to ask any questions that I may have.
