PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT
I affirm that my participation in the program is entirely voluntary, and understand that participation in the program involves a risk of injury due to certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries, such as, but not limited to, the following: contact with other individuals playing in a game; contact with the equipment which are part of the activity area; and strenuous exertions, quick movements, and changes of speed, which place stress on the cardiovascular, muscular, and skeletal systems. The specific risks vary from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises and sprains, to (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions, to (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I understand that if I have questions about possible hazards, it is my responsibility to seek additional information from the program staff prior to signing this Form. I also understand that, despite safety precautions, the Episcopal Church in Colorado and the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, Vail cannot guarantee that I will not be injured. I agree to assume these risks. I understand the best way to remain safe and avoid injury is to follow the rules, regulations, and instructions of the leaders and chaperones leading this activity.
