Ski and Snowboards Gears: I have received the equipment listed on this agreement and have been instructed on its use. I verify that the personal information (height, weight, age, skier classification) on this ticket is correct. If at any time I feel the equipment is not functioning properly, I will stop using it and return it for inspection, repair or adjustments. I understand and agree that skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports are HAZARDOUS activities, that INJURIES from various causes are an INHERENT RISK of participating in these activities, and that injuries to any or all parts of my body are a COMMON AND ORDINARY OCCURRENCE during these activities. I freely accept and ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY OR DEATH that may occur while using this equipment. ALPINE & GRIPWALK™ SYSTEMS: I have confirmed that the visual release indicators on the alpine ski bindings are the same as those designated on this ticket. I understand and agree that alpine ski/boot/binding systems CANNOT RELEASE OR RETAIN in all situations where release or retention may prevent injury, that they therefore CANNOT GUARANTEE MY SAFETY, and that undesired release or retention are inherent risks of Skiing. AT SKI/BINDING/BOOT: I have chosen to use Alpine Touring equipment (AT bindings and/or boots), because it provides functions not available with most Alpine equipment, but I understand and agree that AT ski/binding/boot will NOT provide the same release and retention performance as part of a ski/ boot/binding system as standard Alpine ski/binding/boot. SNOWBOARDS AND X-C: I understand that the binding systems on snowboards and cross-country skis are NOT INTENDED TO RELEASE in a fall or upon impact. HELMETS: Snowsport helmets, when sized and fitted properly, can reduce the risk of injuries to those parts of the head that are covered by the helmet, but no helmet can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts or injuries. Skiing and snowboarding will expose the user to forces that exceed the limits of protection provided by any helmet, and serious injury or death can result from both low and high-energy impacts, even when a helmet is worn. Never use a helmet that has sustained a significant impact or that appears to be damaged, because damage may compromise the effectiveness of that helmet. Helmets must be properly fitted to each user, and I agree that this helmet has been properly fitted by the provider. I warrant that the helmet is comfortably snug and that when I fasten the chin strap and shake my head there is no significant movement of the helmet. I agree that if the helmet is damaged or involved in any kind of accident, I will stop using it immediately, return it to the shop and report the accident or damage. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I agree to RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, and to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS The Outdoor Recreational Gears , and all other manufacturers and distributors of the equipment provided to me under this agreement, any involved winter sport area, shop or service technician, and their owners, agents, employers and employees for any injuries, damages or death related to the use of this equipment.
