The Rigging Loft Waiver & Rental Agreement

In consideration for being permitted to rent and/or utilize the equipment of The Rigging Loft, and to engage in parachute jumping and related activities (hereinafter referred to as “parachuting activities”)

I, hereby agree as follows:

1. I hereby forever RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE RIGGING LOFT, it’s officers, directors, and employees, owners, independent contractors, and shareholders (hereinafter, “RELEASED PARTIES”) from any and all liabilities, claims, injuries, and damages arising out of my participation in parachuting activities, including, but not limited to, losses CAUSED BY THE PASSIVE OR ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, or obvious defects on the property or in the equipment used.


2. I further agree that I WILL NOT SUE OR MAKE A CLAIM against the RELEASED PARTIES for damages or other losses sustained as a result of my participation in parachuting activities.


I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE RELEASED PARTIES HARMLESS from all claims, judgments, and costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with any action brought as a result of my participation in parachuting activities, including but not limited to, losses CAUSED BY THE PASSIVE OR ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, or hidden, latent, or obvious defects on the property or in the equipment or aircraft used. THE INTENT OF THE RELEASE IS TO RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE RELEASED PARTIES OF ANY DUTY OF CARE TO ME WHATSOEVER INSOFAR AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO SO UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.


3. I understand and acknowledge that parachuting activities have inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instructions or expertise can eliminate, and I EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISK OF DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY SUSTAINED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN PARACHUTE ACTIVITES, INCLUDING THE RISK OF PASSIVE OR ACTIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES or hidden, latent or obvious defect on the property or in the equipment or aircraft used.


4. I have been advised and recognize that my parachuting activities and the parachuting equipment therein are not covered by any personal accident or general liability insurance policy issued to the RELEASED PARTIES.


5. I understand that because of the unavoidable and unpredictable dangers involved in the use of parachutes, the RELEASED PARTIES are making no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, concerning any and all equipment, aircraft, or facilities provided by the RELEASED PARTIES. Parachuting is a dangerous sport and associated equipment, such as PARACHUTES, DO NOT ALWAYS WORK the way they are expected to. Furthermore, I understand that my stability and body position can drastically affect the operation of the parachute.


I understand that the parachutes provided by the RELEASED PARTIES are provided without any warranty that they are fit to use for any purpose whatsoever, without warranty of merchantability, and in particular without any warranty that they are fit to use in descending from an aircraft. Furthermore, I understand that there is no warranty that the parachutes have been packed without hidden defects in the packing. I UNDERSTAND I NEED NOT USE THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED BY A RELEASED PARTY, BUT I MAY USE MY OWN EQUIPMENT, IF A CERTIFIED RIGGER APPROVES IT.

 


 

The approval for use of any equipment by a rigger is not a warranty the equipment is suitable for any purpose, but an opinion. I understand these disclaimers and I accept them.

 


6.  I understand that because of the nature of sport parachuting, it is impossible for an instructor to determine with any degree of certainty that I have been properly trained to participate in the sport and that I have fully comprehended the instruction presented to me.

 


Furthermore, it is impossible for an instructor to predict how anyone will react under the high-speed conditions and stress that are inherent in sport parachuting. For that reason, I understand that there is no warranty, whatsoever, as to the adequacy of the training provided by the RELEASED PARTIES to me.

 


I understand I will be required to warrant to the RELEASED PARTIES, that based upon my own evaluation of the training I have received, I believe that I have been adequately trained and that I can safely perform a parachute jump and cope with the high speed conditions and stress of sport parachuting before I will be allowed to make a parachute jump.

 


7.  I have completed the THE RIGGING LOFT WAIVER before initialing and signing this document.

  


8.  I REAFFIRM MY ASSUMPTION OF THE EXTREME RISK AND DANGER SET OUT IsN PARAGRAPH #3 ABOVE.

 


9.  As part of the consideration for my being allowed to rent or utilize The Rigging Loft equipment, I PROMISE NOT TO SUE any of the RELEASED PARTIES for any cause of action.

 


Furthermore, I realize that the damages to the RELEASED PARTIES for any breach of this promise are uncertain and difficult to establish and that in the event I breach this promise, I agree that the liquidated damages that I will be LIABLE TO PAY EACH OF THE RELEASED PARTIES NAMED IN ANY LAWSUIT I MAY BRING IS $25,000.00 FOR EACH DEFENDANT.

  


I further agree that this provision for liquidated damages shall apply to any action in which I am required to indemnify the RELEASED PARTIES and it shall be in addition to any award made to the third party in each suit.


  

10. I certify that considering my lifestyle and the manner in which I am supporting my dependents, I have made adequate provision for my spouse, if any, my children, if any, my heirs, if any, and all other persons dependent upon me so that in the event of my death, they will have suffered no financial loss.

  


11. I further agree that in the event I have a claim against any of the RELEASED PARTIES arising out of my parachuting or skydiving activities, including an action for personal injury, it shall be a condition precedent to the filing of a lawsuit against any of the RELEASE PARTIES that the matter first be arbitrated by an arbitration board appointed by the board of governors of the society, and that the decision and finding of that board shall be final and binding upon all persons.

 


12. It is further specifically agreed that the venue and jurisdiction for any legal action arising of any matter that is the subject of this document shall be in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.

 


13. If the court should decide that any clause in this contract is illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

  


14. I hereby certify that I do not suffer from any physical infirmity or chronic illness which would affect my ability to engage in parachute training and jumping, and that I am not now under treatment for any of the following:

  1. Cardiac or pulmonary condition or disease
  2. High or low blood pressure
  3. Fainting spells or convulsions
  4. Hearing loss or impairment
  5. Diabetes
  6. Kidney or related diseases
  7. Shortness of breath
  8. Nervous disorders
  9. Psychiatric disorders

I further certify that I am not on any particular medication and have not consumed any alcoholic beverages or drugs within the last twelve (12) hours. I also recognize that it is against Federal, State, United States Parachute Association, and The Rigging Loft rules and regulations to take either alcohol or drugs while engaging in parachuting activities, and I agree to refrain from doing so. THIS INCLUDES MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

 


 15. I recognize that this waiver is not in lieu of the The Rigging Loft waiver, but it is in addition to the The Rigging waiver.

I Agree

GUIDELINES FOR EQUIPMENT USE

  • Only the person signing an individual contract/waiver with The Rigging Loft can use rental parachuting equipment. No sharing is permitted under any circumstances, even if the person you want to share with has also signed a rental waiver. Anyone who shares the equipment issued to them with another person will be asked to leave the rental equipment program.
  • Only one set of equipment will be issued to each person. Even if you want to pay extra to rent two parachuting systems you may NOT.
  • NO SMOKING of any substance or VAPING of any substance is permitted while wearing The Rigging Loft equipment, including jumpsuits.

  • The Rigging Loft reserves the right to require you to use designated packers, at your expense, if we think your packing skills are substandard.
  • If packing for yourself, please use a packing mat. It is your responsibility to keep the equipment out of the sun and on a clean, soft surface during packing, and when not in use.
  • The Rigging Loft equipment will be used only during daylight hours at The Rigging Loft and may not be taken to or used at any other location.
  • The Rigging Loft equipment shall not be used for Canopy Relative Work (CRW), Wingsuit Flying, Balloon Jumps, Water Swooping, or Water Landings.

  • You are required to request a complete gear check performed by a The Rigging Loft Instructor or Load Organizer prior to boarding any aircraft while utilizing The Rigging Loft parachuting equipment.


COLLAPSIBLE SLIDERS AND PILOT CHUTES

COLLAPSIBLE SLIDERS

The canopy you will be using have a drawstring or kill-lin in the slider. Please collapse the slider after opening and before releasing your toggles. This reduces line damage caused by the slider vibrating during flight.


COLLAPSIBLE PILOT CHUTES

If you have a collapsible pilot chute (or kill-line), you need to reset it during packing to avoid a malfunction.


AADs (EXPERT CYPRES, CYPRES2, VIGIL)

All of THE RIGGING LOFT'S rental containers are equipped with an AAD (Automatic Activation Device), whether it be an Expert Cypres, Cypres2 or a Vigil. You must be aware of how the device works befor leaving THE RIGGING LOFT premises with your Rental gear. A THE RIGGING LOFT staff member will instruct dyou on how to turn the device on and provide an explanation of how it works, if you are not familiar with it already. THE RIGGIN LOFT has user guides for each AAD if you need to refer to them at any time.

I have been fully briefed on the use of the AAD that is installed in the Rental gear received. I am capable of turning the device on and understand how this device works.


RETURNING GEAR

The Rigging Loft Rental Equipment MUST be returned the way you received it:

Container free of mud, dust, and grass stains.

AAD should be left on.

Return the equipment to ‘The Rigging Loft’ and inform a The Rigging Loft employee of any maintenance issues.

 


WEATHER/AIRCRAFT CREDITS

If you do everything possible to make jumps and due to no fault of your own, the weather or aircraft issues prevent you from jumping, then a credit may be granted in the case of full day rental.     0 Jumps = full credit     2 or more Jumps = no credit

If you rent to take a “Packing Class”, you will be charged for a full day rental, regardless if you jump that rig or not during that day.

 


LATE FEES

A $20 per day late fee will be charged to you if equipment is returned late to THE RIGGING LOFT. In order to avoid late charges, rental equipment must be returned to THE RIGGING LOFT before 5pm on last day of your rental.

DAMAGED/LOST EQUIPMENT AND RESERVE CANOPY USE

YOU ARE MONETARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND THE COST OF PACKING OF THE RESERVE PARACHUTE IF USED. YOU WILL ALSO BE CHARGED FOR ANY PARTS LOST DURING REGULAR USE OR USE OF THE RESERVE PARACHUTE (HANDLES, DEPLOYMENT BAGS, PARACHUTES, ETC.). YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR ALL EQUIPMENT THAT IS LOST, STOLEN, OR DAMAGED WHILE RENTED IN YOUR NAME.           

  1. In the event of damage to the equipment you have rented, you must return the equipment immediately to THE RIGGING LOFT and inform a The Rigging Loft employee for inspection and evaluations. DO NOT KEEP JUMPING THE EQUIPMENT!
  2. A routine ‘reserve ride’ where you lost both handles and the freebag will cost up to $500 depending upon various factors.
  3. A routine ‘reserve ride’ where you lost both handles, and the freebag, and the main canopy will cost up to $3000 depending upon various factors.
  4. If you pay a packer to pack for you and you have a malfunction, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE for replacement charges, NOT THE PACKER.
