(a) Release.  Undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, forever discharge, and agree not to sue or bring any other legal action against the RELEASED PARTIES with respect to any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whether currently known or unknown, which Undersigned, or any of them, have or which could be asserted on behalf of Undersigned in connection with Participant’s participation in the Activity, including, but not limited to, claims of negligence, negligence per se, negligent misrepresentation, other tort claims, premises liability, products liability, breach of warranty, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of local, state and federal laws, breach of contract and wrongful death.

If signing as the parent or guardian of a minor Participant, signing adults represent that they are the minor’s legal parent or guardian.
