I am also aware that there are other risks of injury and illness that may arise due to my participation in FLRC Training Programs and that it is not possible to specifically list every individual risk of injury.

In addition to the foregoing, I agree to abide by all of FLRC’s instructions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. I understand that, even with these instructions in place, there remains a risk that I could contract COVID-19 while participating in FLRC Training Programs. I further understand that contracting COVID-19 may lead to serious illness or death. I voluntarily assume these risks, and I hereby release and discharge all of the entities and persons named above from all claims or liabilities relating to any injury or loss connected to COVID-19 or any other illness that I may contract during FLRC Training Programs.
