JUNIOR Instructed Session

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK FORM

 

JUNIOR INSTRUCTED SESSION

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK FORM

Parents and guardians must be aware of and accept that although their child is being supervised by an instructor, bouldering is an activity that has an inherent risk of serious injury or death. Although your child will be under the instructor's supervision, supervisors cannot prevent climbers from falling from the bouldering wall onto the matting, which may result in injury.  The matting under the walls does not guarantee the safety of a climber.

By initialing below I confirm that I understand the above.


 

Participation Statement:

“All climbing and bouldering activities have a risk of serious injury or death. Participants must be aware of and accept that even if they follow all good practice there may still be the risk of accident and injury. It is the responsibility of the participant to adhere to the conditions of use”

It is important that you understand this document. There is inherent risk involved with indoor bouldering and associated activities. By signing this form you are stating that you understand that these risks cannot be completely removed. If you do not understand any of the terminology or content, ask a member of staff.

Participants should consider having medical/personal accident insurance before undertaking this activity.

By initialing below I confirm that I have read about and understood the risks involved when climbing at Gravity Climbing Centre.


 

Below are the General Conditions of Use of the climbing wall.  Climbers are expected to adhere to these conditions while they are in the centre.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

General Safety:

Report to reception on each visit.
You must exercise care, common sense and self-preservation at all times.
Report any problems with the walls, holds, equipment or other climbers' behaviour to a member of staff immediately.
When moving around the centre, be aware of climbers and their ‘landing zones’ and avoid obstructing them. Climbers may not always be visible; wall features like arches, corners and overhangs may obstruct your view. Exercise caution while moving around the climbing area. Never sit, stand or walk directly underneath someone who is climbing. Being landed on may result in significant injury to all parties involved.
Do not distract anyone who is climbing.
Please make yourself aware of the location of the fire exits in the building.

Bouldering:

Climb within your capabilities. Climbing beyond your capabilities is likely to result in a fall. Any fall may result in an injury despite the safety systems in place. You must make your own assessment of the risks whenever you climb.
Descend by downclimbing whenever possible. If this is not possible, use a controlled/planned jump - It is your responsibility to ensure that you can climb down or land safely; don’t climb into a situation that you cannot safely get out of.
THE SOFT MATTING DOES NOT REMOVE THE RISK OF INJURY. Injuries can still occur even after a controlled/ planned jump but are more likely after an uncontrolled fall. You should always do your utmost to avoid the risk of uncontrolled falls. This includes paying attention to how you will land and always assessing the risk of each climb that you undertake.
Always be aware of people climbing above and around you. Never climb directly above or below another climber.
Problems finish on the last obvious hold. Do not grab or touch the top of the wall.
Keep the mat free of objects. Objects such as mobile phones, water bottles, clothing, shoes and bags should not be brought onto the mats.
Participants must be aware and accept that climbing holds can spin or break.
Participants must understand that climbing while pregnant can increase the risk posed to mother and unborn child.
Please remove all jewellery before climbing. Remove anything from pockets that could hurt you when landing.

Competitions and ‘competition style’ bouldering:

Areas of the centre may be laid out for competitions or competition style bouldering. It may be more difficult to descend by downclimbing due to the absence of easier circuits. Consider this before climbing to the top.
Be aware that dynamic climbing and uncontrolled falls may lead to greater risk of injury.
Volumes on the walls are designed to enhance the quality of climbing but you must be aware of and accept that when climbing above them there is an additional risk of falling onto them.

Training equipment:

You use the training equipment at your own risk.
If you are unsure how to safely use any piece of training equipment, ask a member of staff. 

Our Duty of Care
The conditions of use of the climbing centre are not intended to limit your enjoyment of the facilities; they are part of the duty of care that we, as operators, owe to you, the customer, by law. As such, they are not negotiable and if you are not prepared to abide by them then the staff may ask you to leave.

Your Duty of Care
You have a duty of care to act responsibly towards the other users of the centre, follow good practice and abide by the conditions of use of the centre. Statements of ‘Good Practice’ are posted around the centre adjacent to the relevant facilities. These describe the accepted methods of use of equipment and climbing areas.

Unsupervised Climbing
Before you can use the bouldering walls without supervision, you must be aware of the safe usage of bouldering and know how to use the bouldering walls safely. You are required to register to say that you know how to boulder and that you are prepared to abide by the rules and that you understand the risks involved in your participation. Anyone who is not competent to climb unsupervised must be supervised by a competent person.

Supervised Climbing
If you cannot climb unsupervised, you must be supervised by a Gravity staff member or an instructor holding the relevant, valid Mountain Leader Training qualification and insurance or other relevant qualification. If you are aged under 14 you may be also supervised by a parent/guardian who is an adult registered member of Gravity.

By initialing below I confirm that I have read and understood the conditions of use at Gravity Climbing Centre.
