1. I acknowledge that participation in the Event entails known and unanticipated risks, which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition the participant may have. 

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this Event. Participation in this Event is purely voluntary, and participation is elected despite the risks. I hereby give my consent for any medical treatment that may be required, as determined by a medical professional at the medical facility, during participation in the Event, with the understanding that the cost of any such treatment will be solely my responsibility. 

3. I hereby voluntarily release, waive, and forever discharge any and all claims of negligence against NIMBLE that relate in any way to any activity I or my child undertakes in conjunction with the Event, including transportation to and from the Event. 

4. Should NIMBLE or anyone acting on its behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this Agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. 

5. I understand that NIMBLE does not maintain an insurance policy that would provide coverage in the event of injury during the Event. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury while participating in the Event, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself.
