Adventure activities carry real risks. They include:

- first aid that is not given correctly
- carelessness (negligence) by other people, including us. This includes us not taking reasonable steps to protect you from these risks, or to warn you about them.
These risks could lead to injury, death, or loss of or damage to your belongings. I understand these risks, and I freely choose to accept them all.
My health and fitness
These activities put unusual stress on the body. I confirm that:

What I agree to
In return for being allowed to take part, I agree:
- I give up any claim against us, now or in the future, and I release us from all responsibility, for any loss, damage, cost or injury, including death, that I or my family may suffer because I took part, whatever the cause, including our negligence, breach of contract, or breach of any legal duty or duty of care.

- I am not relying on anything we have said or written about safety, other than what is in this agreement.
