I am aware and understand that the Activity is a potentially dangerous activity and involves the risk of serious injury, disability, death, or property damage. I understand and acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of Company employees or others, including negligent emergency response or rescue operations of the Company. I understand that while the Company may have implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity, the Company cannot guarantee that I will not be injured due to my participation in the Activity. 2. I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims which I have or may in future have, against the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, "Releasees"), on account of injury, illness, disability, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to the Activity, whether arising out of the negligence of the Company or any other Releasee or otherwise, including without limitation, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. 3.

I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the Company at all times during the Activity.
