PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK In consideration of the services of Moccasin Creek Offroad Park LLC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, employees, and all other
persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "MCOP"), I hereby agree to release,
indemnify, and discharge MCOP, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and
estate as follows:
1. I acknowledge that my participation in ATV and UTV activities entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or
emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be
eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
The risks include, among other things: there is the possibility of rough terrain; passengers can be jolted, jarred, bounced, thrown about
and otherwise shaken during rides; it is possible that riders could be injured if they come into contact with other passengers or equipment;
injuries can be sustained from the trail, equipment or from items on the trail such as holes, bumps, ruts, obstacles, tree limbs and branches
or rocks; major injuries are a risk as are bruises and sprains; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck, and back injuries; exposure to
the elements of the outdoors and natural surroundings which could cause hypothermia, hyperthermia (heat related illnesses), heat
exhaustion, sunburn, and dehydration; exposure to potentially dangerous wild animals, insect bites, and hazardous plant life; the negligence
of other participants or persons who may be present; further, passengers can be thrown off the machine which can result in any of the above
events occurring; accidents involving other machines; collision with fixed or movable objects; flipping over; transmissible pathogen or
disease; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity. In any event, if you or your child is injured, any
medical assistance will be at your own expense.
Furthermore, MCOP personnel have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a
participant's fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings
or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely
voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. I agree to wear a properly fitted and secured DOT or SNELL certified helmet
while participating in this activity.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless MCOP from any and all claims, demands, or
causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of MCOP's equipment or facilities,
including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of MCOP.
4. Should MCOP or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to
indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear
the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I
may have.
6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against MCOP, I agree to do so solely in the state of Georgia, and I further agree that the substantive
law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this
agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity,
may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against MCOP on the basis of any claim from which
I have released them herein. I also agree that this document is valid for subsequent visits and participation at MCOP. I have had
sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms. PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION
(Must be completed for participants under the age of 18)
In consideration of the following minor(s): (print name(s))being permitted by MCOP to participate in its activities and to use its equipment and facilities, I further agree to indemnify and hold harmlessMCOP from any and all claims which are brought by, or on behalf of minor(s), and which are in any way connected with such use or participation by minor(s). Minor(s) DOB(s) PROTECTIVE RIDING HEADGEAR REFUSAL AGREEMENT I, the undersigned, have been fully warned and advised by Moccasin Creek Offroad Park LLC (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “MCOP”), that I should wear a properly fitted and secured DOT and/or or SNELL
certified helmet while riding or being around all-terrain vehicles (“ATV’s”) or utility-terrain vehicles (“UTV’s”)
(whether on the premises or off of the MCOP’s premises) in order to potentially reduce the severity of an injury
and/or to possibly prevent my death from occurring as the result of a fall or any other occurrence associated with
this activity. I understand that by not wearing a helmet, I will be going against manufacturers’ requirements and
putting myself at an increased risk for injuries, and against the advice of MCOP and numerous court cases I am
refusing this critical safety precaution. I also understand that minors are not allowed to refuse protective headgear
and I cannot sign on their behalf to waive the requirement. I, the undersigned, have read the foregoing statement carefully before signing and do understand its
warning. |
