I understand that these risks may result from the actions, negligence and failure to act of myself and others and from the condition of any property, facilities or equipment used. I also understand that there may be risks involved which are not known to me or to the Released Parties and may not be foreseen or reasonably foreseeable by any of us at this time or at the time of the Activity. Despite knowing these risks, I hereby elect to voluntarily participate in the Activity and agree to assume all related risks, including without limitation those enumerated above, and accept personal responsibility for any injury of any kind or nature that I or my property may suffer arising out of or in connection with my participation in the Activity.
PHYSICAL CONDITION/MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION: I hereby certify that I am physically fit for participation in the Event/Activity, have the skill level required in conjunction with the Activity, and have not been advised otherwise.

(A) I WAIVE, RELEASE, AND DISCHARGE the Host from any and all liability, including but not limited to, liability arising from the negligence of the Host, for my death, disability, personal injury, property damage, property theft, or any other damage or actions of any kind which may affect or impact me in any way arising from the Activity.
(B) I INDEMNIFY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE the Host from any and all liabilities or claims made as a result of my participation in the Activity, whether caused by the negligence of the Host or otherwise.
This Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form (“Release Form”) shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Mississippi. This Release Form shall be construed broadly to provide a release and waiver to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT; AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.
