EXPRESS THE ASSUMPTION OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
I hereby affirm and acknowledge that I have been fully informed of the inherent hazards and risks associated with outdoor recreational activities. These activities generally include but are not limited to, hiking, tubing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, surfing, ziplining, rock climbing, community clean-ups, and other outdoor activities, as well as the rental of equipment and related transportation. Inherent hazards and risks include, but are not limited to:
1. Risk of injury, including disability or death, from the activity and equipment utilized.
2. Possible equipment failure and/or malfunction of my own or others' equipment.
3. This activity or portions of it takes place outdoors and therefore includes risks associated with exposure to elements, excessive heat, hypothermia, the impact of the body upon the snow, encountering objects either natural or man-made, exposure to animals with the attendant risk of kicking, biting, shying away, running off or otherwise moving in an unanticipated manner causing injury and/or death.
4. My own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including but not limited to operator error and guide decision making including misjudging terrain, rapids, weather, trails, or route location.
5. Attack by or encounter with insects and/or animals.
6. Accidents or illnesses occurring in remote places where there are no immediately available medical facilities.
7. Fatigue, chill, and/or dizziness, which may diminish my/our reaction time and increase the risk of an accident.
I understand the description of these risks is not complete and that unknown or unanticipated risks may result in injury, illness, or death.
