Many of the hazards or risks associated with the Activities may not be known to me or readily foreseeable at this time. I agree and represent that if at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.

I SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the County, its elected officials, employees, agents, contractors and other participants from any and all losses (including interest and attorneys' fees and expenses), whether or not caused by the County’s negligence, due to my participation in the Activities. This Release, Waiver, Assumption and Indemnification Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by Colorado law and if any portion of this Agreement is held invalid, the remainder shall continue in full legal force and effect. I acknowledge that no oral representations, statements or inducements apart from this written agreement have been made. I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT AND UNDERSTAND IT IS A RELEASE OF ALL PRESENT AND FUTURE CLAIMS. I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS INHERENT IN ENGAGING IN FAIR EVENTS. I VOLUNTARILY HAVE SIGNED MY NAME EVIDENCING MY ACCEPTANCE OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS. Today’s Date: July 4, 2026 |
