Sound Rowers Race Entry Form Waiver & Warning of Risk
I fully understand that Sound Rowers activities involve risks and dangers of serious bodily injury, including
permanent disability, paralysis and death, and the risk of damage to, or destruction of, my boat, vehicle,
and any of my equipment. These risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions or inactions, by the
actions or inactions of other participants or of persons not participating in the activity, or by the negligence
of persons acting on behalf of Sound Rowers. The variable weather and water conditions in which the activity
takes place will affect the level of risk and danger. There may be other risks and social and economic
losses not known to me or foreseeable at this time. I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility
for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in the activity.
I am in good heath and in proper physical condition to participate in this activity and I am proficient in the
handling of my boat. My boat is designed for operation under the conditions in which Sound Rowers activities
occur and is in good condition. It has adequate floatation to support all occupants if swamped and,
if capsized, I can right the boat and move it to safety without assistance. I will carry a personal floatation
device for each occupant. I will wear that PFD if I am under 18 years old or if the Race Director so orders.
I understand that the course of this activity may cross shipping lanes and that I am responsible for yielding
right of way to commercial vessels in the shipping lanes and any powerboat on the race course.
In consideration of the opportunity to participate in this Sound Rowers activity, I for myself, my personal
representatives, assigns, heirs, next of kin, and all those claiming by or through me, consent to and do hereby
release, discharge, and forever hold harmless Sound Rowers and any and all sponsors, all municipal
agencies and municipalities whose property and/or personnel are involved in the activity and any other
sponsoring or cosponsoring agency or individual from responsibility for any injuries or harm of any nature
whatsoever that I may suffer, or for any damage whatsoever to my boat, vehicle, or any of my equipment,
as a result, either directly or indirectly, of my participation in this activity. I further agree that if, despite
this release and waiver, I or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of these releasees, I will indemnify, save and hold harmless each releasee from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability,
damage or cost which any may incur as a result of such claim, to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
