I acknowledge that the Activity may involve strenuous activities and certify that the Participant is in good physical and mental health and that he/she has no special medical or physical conditions that would impede participation in the Activity. I acknowledge that participation in the Activity carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated, regardless of the care taken to avoid injury. These specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks include (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises and sprains, (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, fractured or broken bones, heart attacks and concussions, and (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. Such risks may result from many factors, including, but not limited to falls, contact with other participants bad decision-making, actions of other participants, or accidents which cannot be foreseen. I acknowledge that the above list is not inclusive of all possible risks associated with the Activity and agree that said list in no way limits the extent or reach of this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and indemnity. I assert that my participation is voluntary and I knowingly assume all such risks.
I agree and indemnify and hold harmless Releasees from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorneys fees, and to reimburse Releasees for any such expense incurred in connection with or as a result of (a) Participant's participation in the Activity or (b) travel associated with the Activity or arising in connection with or as a result of any attempt by anyone, including, not by limitation, Participant or anyone claiming on Participant's behalf, to avoid the terms of this Waiver or Liability, Assumption of Risk and indemnity.

I have read this Waiver, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights - including my right to sue. I know, understand and appreciate that there are risks inherent to the Activity. I expressly agree and assert that participation in the Activity is voluntary and I knowingly assume all such risks and elect to proceed with the participation despite all the risks. I acknowledge that I am signing this Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and indemnity freely and voluntarily and intend, by my signature, the complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. |
