I acknowledge that the Event involves the operation of motorized vehicles, extreme sporting activities, and activities involving physical endurance and strength. I realize that, as a result, I may be engaging in activities that involve risk of serious injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death, property damage and other losses which might result not only from my own action, inaction or negligence, but the action, inaction or negligence of others, the circumstances of the Event and other occurrences. By way of example only, and without limitation, these dangers may include the following:

Dangerous and hazardous conditions;
Dangers of general aviation use;
Dangerous, negligent, or intentional conduct, including my own conduct or the conduct of others;
Weather conditions, including extreme weather or rapidly changing weather, wind, lightning, other natural phenomena, and hazards arising from the consequences of such weather conditions;
Equipment failure;
Inadequate safety equipment;
Risks associated with other planes, facilities, or structures used in the Event, or which are located near or constitute part of the Event routes, and the potential for collision with such structures or vegetation;
Dangers in traveling cross-country and in mountainous areas;
Dangers of high altitude sickness;
Potential for collision with pedestrians, vehicles, other participants, and fixed or moving objects;
Travel to and from the Event and the Event facilities;
Theft of personal property or belongings.

I FULLY UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE AND OTHER RISKS MAY EXIST IF I PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT. I ACCEPT SOLE AND ABSOLUTE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EACH OF THEM, AND FOR ANY RESULTING INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOSS AS A RESULT OF SUCH RISKS, OR MY PARTICIPATION, AND I AGREE THAT THE ORGANIZERS ARE NOT LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR TO ME OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY SUCH OCCURRENCES.

II. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY. I acknowledge that no amount of care, caution, instruction, or expertise can eliminate the risks and dangers of participating in the Event. I therefore voluntarily agree to and do hereby waive and release any or all claims, and all of my right to assert legal demands, including claims for damages, injuries, death, costs, fees and other losses, that I now have or may at any time have in the future against the event organizers (paid or not) and any and all of its past, current or future members, officers, directors, employees, volunteers, organizers, agents, sponsors, officials, attorneys or other representatives (the “Organizers”), that arise from or relate in any way to the Event, my participation in the Event or the acts or omissions of others involved in the Event. I understand and agree that this includes claims that do not exist now but arise in the future, claims based on occurrences taking place in the future, and claims that relate to occurrences that took place despite reasonable efforts of the organizers and even though I have adhered to the Code of Conduct. This specifically includes any rights that may have otherwise existed under California Civil Code Section 1542, which states that “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

I UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE PROVISIONS, I AM GIVING UP CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS THAT MIGHT EXIST IF I DID NOT AGREE TO THIS DOCUMENT.
