IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING Axe throwing and rage room activities involve inherent risks, including serious bodily injury, permanent disability, and death. By signing this agreement, I acknowledge these risks, voluntarily agree to participate, and release the operators identified in this agreement from certain claims involving ordinary negligence, as permitted by Oregon law. I understand that I am giving up certain legal rights by signing this agreement. 1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK I understand that participating in axe throwing, rage room experiences, and related activities involves physical risks that cannot be completely eliminated, even when reasonable safety precautions are followed. These risks may include cuts, bruises, puncture wounds, broken bones, eye injuries, hearing damage, head injuries, permanent disability, and death. I understand that injuries may result from my own actions, the actions of other participants, the handling of equipment, unexpected movement of objects, and other hazards associated with these activities. I voluntarily accept the inherent risks associated with the activities in which I participate. 2. AXE THROWING — SPECIFIC RISKS I acknowledge that axe throwing involves sharp, heavy objects that can cause serious injury. Potential hazards include, but are not limited to: - Axes bouncing back, ricocheting, or rebounding from targets.
- Axes traveling in unintended directions.
- Dropped axes or improper handling of sharp blades.
- Flying wood fragments, splinters, and broken target materials.
- Injuries caused by other participants throwing or handling axes.
- Slipping, tripping, or falling within the activity area.
- Injuries resulting from failure to follow safety instructions.
I agree to handle axes only as instructed, maintain safe distances, and never enter a throwing area or retrieve axes while throwing is taking place. 3. RAGE ROOM — SPECIFIC RISKS I acknowledge that rage room activities involve intentionally striking, breaking, smashing, or destroying objects using tools and other equipment. Potential hazards include, but are not limited to: - Flying or falling glass, metal, ceramics, wood, or other debris.

- Accidental contact with other participants or equipment.
I understand that protective equipment reduces certain risks but does not eliminate the possibility of injury. I agree to use only approved tools and objects, follow staff instructions, and refrain from directing tools, broken materials, or other objects toward another person. 4. SAFETY RULES AND PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES I agree to: - Attend the required safety briefing before participating.

I understand that staff may refuse or terminate participation if I fail to follow safety instructions or if my behavior presents a safety risk. I understand that I may stop participating at any time. 5. PHYSICAL CONDITION AND VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION I understand that these activities require physical coordination, balance, awareness, and the ability to handle equipment safely. I agree not to participate if I believe a medical condition, injury, impairment, or other limitation prevents me from participating safely. I understand that participation is voluntary and that I may decline or stop an activity at any time. 6. RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the selected activities, I voluntarily release and discharge Feckin Axe Throwing LLC, doing business as Celtic Axe Throwing and Rage Room Portland, any additional facility operator expressly identified at the beginning of this agreement, and their respective owners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, instructors, and agents acting in connection with these activities (collectively, the "Released Parties"), to the extent permitted by Oregon law. This release applies to claims for damages for injuries to the participant, including serious injury or death, resulting from ordinary negligence of the Released Parties arising out of participation in the selected activities and the risks described in this agreement. I understand that ordinary negligence generally involves a failure to exercise reasonable care. For an adult participant, I enter into this release on my own behalf. For a participant under 18, the signing parent or legal guardian enters into this release on behalf of the minor participant, to the extent permitted by Oregon law. This release does not apply to claims that Oregon law prohibits an operator from requiring a participant to waive. These exclusions include, but are not limited to: - Gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful misconduct, or intentional torts.

- Claims involving abuse or physical or sexual assault as described under applicable Oregon law.
- Certain claims involving negligent hiring, training, credentialing, supervision, or retention connected to gross negligence, reckless conduct, willful misconduct, or intentional torts.

Nothing in this agreement releases any person or entity from liability that cannot lawfully be waived. This agreement shall be interpreted consistently with applicable Oregon law, including Oregon Senate Bill 1517 (2026). 7. EMERGENCY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE In the event of an injury or medical emergency, I authorize staff to contact emergency medical services and provide reasonable assistance within their training and abilities. I understand that emergency medical attention may be necessary and that staff cannot guarantee immediate medical assistance or a particular outcome. Nothing in this section releases any claim that cannot legally be waived. 8.
