ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

I understand and acknowledge that I will voluntarily engage in the Activity(ies). The Activity(ies) involves both known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or mental injury, death, illness, disease, or property damage to me or to third parties. These risks apply equally regardless of whether I use my own personal tools or equipment or those of the Releasees, if any. Injuries may result from accident, malfunction, misuse, or mishandling of tools or equipment. The Activity(ies) may take place in varied settings including but not limited to high bluffs, steep hills, ridges, logging roads, ditches, and along streams, lakes, and rivers. Slips or falls may result in severe injury or drowning. Exposure to natural elements can be uncomfortable or harmful. Temperature and weather extremes may result in sunburn, dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hyperthermia, frostbite, or hypothermia. Poisonous or dangerous plants, insects, or animals may cause injury or allergic reactions. Accidents may occur during travel in vehicles to and from Activity(ies) sites, including all-terrain vehicles. Some of these risks apply even if the Activity(ies) takes place primarily indoors. I understand and expressly acknowledge that these risks may result in claims against Releasees or personal claims against me by third parties.

I understand and acknowledge that the above lists are not complete and that other risks may also result in injury, death, illness, disease, or damage to property or to me or third parties. I expressly accept all of the risks involved with the Activity(ies). My participation in the Activity(ies) is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. I agree to adhere to all safety instructions and recommendations given by TDEC staff. Nothing in this section shall be construed to be an implied grant of authority to use any items that are otherwise prohibited during the Activity(ies).
