 If I need a flotation device I will ask for one. If I use a flotation device I will not remove my floatation device at any time while in the water. I acknowledge that doing so will constitute a violation of safety rules and procedures for which I expressly assume the risk.

I fully understand that the involved boat has limited medical facilities and that in the event of illness or injury or appropriate medical care must be summoned by radio; treatment will be delayed until I can be transported to a proper medical facility. I agree in advance to these conditions.

The participating Released Parties and/or boat have made no representation to me implied or otherwise that they or their crew can or will perform safe rescues or render first aid. In the event I show signs of distress or call for aid; I would like assistance and will not hold the Released Parties, their crew or passengers responsible for their actions in attempting the performance of rescue or first aid.
