I understand and acknowledge that participating in this event is a dangerous activity. I am aware and understand the activities I will be involved in. I am aware of the hazards involved and acknowledge that there is always risk of injury (including permanent injury, mental injury, paralysis, and death). In my judgment I have sufficient competence, knowledge, common sense, experience, survival skills, and equipment to participate in all the event activities in a manner safe to myself and others.

I understand and agree that, in the first instance, I am responsible for the provision of first aid to myself and those around me. I know and accept that rescue by the organisers, or emergency services, may not be possible immediately (e.g., Night, rain, equipment failure, other rescue, etc.)

If I get to a point in the course that I believe the level of inherent risk is unacceptable for me, and I am not confident in completing it safely, it is my responsibility to act. I must choose an alternate route, avoid the hazard, or even withdraw from that leg or the race. I accept this self-responsibility.

Use common sense to “assess” areas for personal safety.

I and my whole team have read this paragraph, understand it, and indemnify the event organiser against all claims.
