I have no expectation of compensation for these activities. I acknowledge that I currently have no known mental or physical condition that would impair my capability for full participation as intended or expected. I expressly assume all risks of injury, bodily harm or property damage arising out of my activities with FOR.

I further acknowledge that I am responsible for my own insurance coverage and FOR has no liability or responsibility to me for any medical, health or other benefits or compensation.

I release and forever discharge FOR, its successors and assigns, employees, officers, directors and agents, and any sponsoring organizations from any and all claims, liabilities and demands of any kind or nature, in law or equity, arising out of my activities with FOR, including any claims for bodily injury, death, illness or property damage occurring while engaged in my activities with FOR, even if caused by the negligence or reckless conduct of a FOR employee or Volunteer/Participant. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless FOR, its successors and assigns, employees, officers, directors and agents, and any sponsoring organizations in connection with any of the foregoing.

In case of emergency or accident, I give permission for any first aid treatment or other medical services rendered on my behalf, and release FOR from any and all liability in connection with any medical services. I agree to be the responsible party for all medical expenses incurred on my behalf.
