I am aware and understand that some of the activities may be dangerous activities and involve the risk of serious illness and/or injury and/or death and/or property damage.

I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the activities with knowledge of the danger involved and hereby agree to accept and assume any and all risks of injury, death, or property damage, whether caused by the negligence of the companies or others.
I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known in any jurisdiction, against the Companies, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, shareholders, successors, and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”), on account of injury, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activities, whether arising out of the negligence of the Companies or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Companies or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Companies and all other Releasees from liability under such claims.
