I have consulted with a physician prior to participating in the Activity and understand that the Activity is not medicinal in nature and is not a substitute for proper medical examination and attention. I acknowledge that the risks associated with the Activity may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Company, its employees or others. I understand that while the Company has implemented measures to reduce the risk of injury from the Activity, the Company cannot guarantee that I will

I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against the Company or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge the Company and all other Releasees from liability under such claims. This waiver and release does not extend to claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other liabilities that Vermont law does not permit to be released by agreement.
I confirm that I am in good health, in proper physical condition, and do not have any medical or other conditions that would impair my ability to participate in the Activity. I will also follow all instructions, recommendations, and cautions of the Company at all times. If at any time I believe conditions to be unsafe or that I am no longer in proper physical condition to participate in the Activity, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activity.
I shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and all other Releasees against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorney fees, fees, the costs of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Release, and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers, incurred by the Company or any other Releasees, arising out or resulting from any claim of a third party related to my participation in the Activity.
This Release constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the Company and me with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. If any term or provision of this Release is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Release or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
