I recognize that the Activity may have a risk of personal injury and/or damage to my property. I hereby freely assume all risks which may be associated with or result from participating in the Activity including, but not limited to: 1. A ropes or challenge course is a series of tasks, obstacles or challenges that the participants will travel through, on or around during the course. Most obstacles involving physical activity such as crawling, walking, climbing or movement using all or part of your body. Some of the obstacles will be off the ground, some quite high. Participants may experience exhaustion or tiredness from the course. A large amount of physical exertion will be required. 2. Participants may experience rope burns from the ropes or cables traveling through their hands. Participants can fall against the rope or other objects while on the course. Participants may fall to the ground from heights of varying distances. 3. Participants will often experience and confront several types of fear or trauma. 4. You need to understand that your involvement and participation in this activity is voluntary. You have the right and you must notify us if you do not want to participate in any or all of the activities.
