Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risk. I acknowledge and fully understand that I will be engaging in activities, including, but not limited to, gardening, trash pickup, greeting visitors, and other land and water-based activities that involve risk of damage to personal property or serious injury, including drowning, permanent disability and death, and severe social and economic losses. I acknowledge and fully understand that these risks might result not only from the my own actions, inactions or negligence, but the actions, inactions or negligence of others, the condition of the premises or of any equipment, including the exposure to people with infectious diseases including COVID-19, maintenance and gardening equipment used, water hazards, contact with others, animals, boat wakes, climbing on rocks and hazardous materials such as broken glass, condoms and syringes, and the effects of weather, including heat, humidity, cold and/or precipitation.

I covenant not to sue the Releasees with respect thereto and I agree to hold harmless and indemnify the Releasees against any liability, costs, claims or damages incurred by them as a result thereof.
