I understand that participation in the Activities is voluntary, involves risks and dangers which include, without limitation, the potential for serious bodily injury, illness, permanent disability, paralysis, and death. I understand that these risks may be caused in whole or in part by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activities, or the acts, inaction or negligence of the Released Parties, as defined in this Release. I also understand that if I have any risk concerns, I should discuss the risks associated with my participation with the activity coordinators and event staff before I sign this document and before any activities begin.

4. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, losses, damages and liabilities for indemnities, contribution or otherwise with respect to any damage and/or injury, of any type, arising from the above-referenced minor’s/minors’ participation in the Activities. I also agree that this Liability Release and Indemnity Agreement extends to all acts of negligence by the Released Parties, and is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by California law.
