ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
By signing this waiver, I acknowledge that participating in mountain biking carries inherent risks, including the risk of serious injury or death. Mountain biking takes place on a variety of terrain including rugged and challenging features, and will expose the rider and their equipment to many risks, dangers and hazards. I understand that these risks may be caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating, the condition of the equipment used, or the condition of the premises on which the mountain biking is conducted.
I agree and understand that I will be held to assume the risk of all terrain and course conditions, including but not limited to weather, trail obstacles both natural and manmade, and potential collisions with other persons and wildlife. I have the right to not ride any portion of a trail or attempt any skill or maneuver that I consider to be too dangerous, risky or unsafe for a rider of my skill level.
I agree and understand that I will be held to assume the risk of equipment malfunction including bike, helmet and personal riding gear. I fully assume all such risks and accept personal responsibility for any and all damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses that I incur as a result of my participation in mountain biking.
Participation in mountain biking requires physical activity and the ability to handle potentially challenging terrain. By signing this waiver, I represent that I am in good physical health and able to participate in mountain biking activities. I understand that it is my responsibility to inform the instructor or coach of any physical limitations or medical conditions that may affect my ability to safely participate in mountain biking. I agree to follow all rules and guidelines set forth by the instructor or coach, and to stop or take a break as needed to ensure my own safety and the safety of others. I also understand that it is my responsibility to bring any necessary medications or medical devices with me on the ride and to inform the instructor or coach if I need to use them.
I understand mountain biking carries a risk of concussions and other head injuries due to the nature of the activity and the potential for falls and collisions. It is important to recognize the signs of a concussion and to seek medical attention if a concussion is suspected. To help prevent concussions and other injuries while mountain biking, participants are required to: (1) Wear a properly fitting and certified helmet at all times while riding. (2) Follow all rules and guidelines set forth by the mountain bike instructor or coach. (3) Not ride beyond their abilities or in conditions that may increase the risk of injury. If a participant sustains a suspected concussion or other head injury while mountain biking, they are required to: (1) Report the injury to the instructor or trail coordinator immediately and cease participation. (2) Follow any and all medical advice provided by a healthcare professional. (3) Obtain written clearance from a healthcare professional before returning to mountain biking.
