Acknowledgement of Risk Form

1. Participation Statement 

“All climbing and bouldering activities have a risk of serious injury or death. Participants must be aware of and accept that even if they follow all good practice there may still be the risk of accident and injury. It is the responsibility of the participant to adhere to the conditions of use.” 

It is important that you understand this document. There is inherent risk involved with climbing centres and associated activities.  By signing this form, you are stating you understand that these risks cannot be completely removed. If you do not understand any of the terminology or content, please ask a member of staff to clarify. 

2. Conditions of Use 

General Safety 

  • Report to reception on each visit before you climb 
  • You must exercise care, common sense and self-preservation at all times 
  • Report any problems with the walls, equipment or other climbers’ behaviour to a member of staff immediately. This is particularly important with damaged or spinning holds. 
  • Be aware of other climbers around you and how your actions may affect them 
  • Do not distract people whilst they are climbing or belaying 
  • Never stand directly beneath someone who is climbing 
  • If you have children, you must keep them under control and supervise them at all times. Be close enough to control the child’s behaviour at all times 
  • Please make yourself aware of the fire exits and fire assembly points 

As a user of this climbing wall, you must be aware of and accept the following: 

  • Volumes on the walls are designed to enhance the quality of the climbing experience but you must be aware of and accept that when climbing above them there is an additional risk of falling onto them 
  • Climbing beyond your capabilities on any wall is likely to result in a fall. Any fall may result in an injury despite the safety systems in place. You must make your own assessment of the risks whenever you climb 
  • Participants must understand that climbing whilst pregnant can increase the risk posed to mother and child 
  • Participants must be aware and accept that climbing holds can spin or break 
  • You must do everything reasonable and practical to avoid endangering yourself or others 
  • You have to be aware of and adhere to the safety rules of the centre at all times 
  • Stand back from the climbing walls unless you are belaying or spotting a climber 
  • You take responsibility for adequately maintaining your equipment 
  • Please empty your pockets and remove all jewellery before climbing 

Top-Rope Climbing 

  • Always use a climbing harness to attach yourself to the rope tying the rope directly into the harness using a figure of 8 knot with a stopper. Clipping in with a carabiner is not advised 
  • Do not remove top ropes already in place (unless you are booked on to lead climb *and* understand how to replace a top rope – if you are not able to do so a member of staff will do so but please do not leave the Centre without informing a member of staff that a top rope needs replacing) 
  • It is your responsibility to vet your climbing partner’s ability before they belay you 
  • Ensure you and your climbing partner undertake ‘buddy checks’ prior to each climb 

Lead Climbing 

  • Lead belaying requires a higher degree of skill and understanding from top rope belaying and should only be undertaken if you have received training or are otherwise competent through experience to do so. If you are unsure DO NOT attempt to lead climb. 
  • When using the wall for lead climbing you must provide your own appropriately rated dynamic rope. DO NOT use The Street’s ropes for lead climbing. 
  • If you remove The Street’s top ropes to allow for lead climbing please replace these at the end of your session, or, if you are not able to replace, do not leave the Centre without informing a member of staff that a top rope needs replacing. 

When Belaying 

  • Always abide by good practice when belaying 
  • Always use a belay device attached to your harness with a locking carabiner as per manufacturers’ guidelines. ‘Traditional’ or ‘body’ belaying is not acceptable 
  • To ensure your partner’s safety, always pay attention to what the climber is doing 
  • Always stand as close to the climbing wall as is practicable. Sitting or lying down in not acceptable 

Bouldering 

  • Always climb within your capabilities and descend by down climbing or at the very least, a controlled fall. 
  • Never climb directly above or below another climber 
  • Watch out for falling climbers 
  • Keep the matting clear of personal belongings, this includes bottles, tape, clothing, bags, keys, phones etc. 

3. Our Duty of Care 

The conditions of use of the Street Climbing Walls are not intended to limit your enjoyment of the facilities: they are part of the Duty of Care that we, as operators, owe to you, the customer, by Law. As such, they are not negotiable and if you are not prepared to abide by them, staff may ask you to leave. 

4. Your Duty of Care 

You have a duty of care to act responsibly towards the other users of the centre (not just those in the climbing area), follow good practice and abide by the conditions of use of the Walls. Statements of Good Practice are posted around the Walls. These describe the accepted methods of use of equipment and the climbing area. 

5. Unsupervised Climbing 

Before you can use the top ropes or lead walls without supervision we expect you to be competent in the use of a climbing harness, a suitable knot to attach a rope to the harness and a belay device to secure a falling climber or lower a climber from the wall using a rope. You are required to register to say you know how to top rope and / or lead, that you are prepared to abide by the Conditions of Use of the wall, and that you understand the risks involved in your participation. Anyone who is not competent to climb unsupervised must be supervised by a competent climber. 

 6. Supervised Climbing 

An adult registered at The Street Climbing Wall as a Competent Climber may supervise up to two novice climbers, as long as they are prepared to take full responsibility for the safety of those people. 

Groups of three or more novices must only be supervised by an instructor 

All children at the Street Climbing Wall must be supervised by an adult unless they have been assessed by the management and registered for unsupervised climbing 

Declarations 

I certify that to the best of my knowledge I do not suffer from a medical condition that might have the effect of making it more likely that I be involved in an accident that could result in an injury to myself or others.

I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it and I agree to be bound by its terms.
