ASSUMPTION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK

I acknowledge, agree and represent that I understand the nature of Climbing Activities and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such activities.  I acknowledge that Climbing Activities entail both known and unanticipated risks, seen and unseen, which could result in emotional or physical injury, paralysis, death, or damage to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. These inherent risks include but in no way are limited to all manner of injury resulting from participation during Climbing Activities.

 

I agree to bear full responsibility for any injury or damage I may suffer while participating in Climbing Activities. I have no physical or mental limitations which would preclude my safe use of the climbing walls, climbing equipment, or exercise equipment, or being in the landing zones (these areas hereafter referred to as the "Walls") and/or I assume all risks that may be created by such limitations. I further certify that I am not currently mentally impaired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol and am otherwise legally competent to understand and sign this document.  I, the undersigned, recognize the dangers inherent with Climbing Activities. I am assuming the hazard of this risk upon myself since I wish to climb. I realize I am subject to injury from this activity and that risks and dangers may arise from foreseeable or unforeseeable causes to which I am exposing myself or my minor child. The risks outlined in this document are not exhaustive and I acknowledge that there may be other risks, hazards, and dangers that, based on the circumstances, are integral to Climbing Activities.

FACILITY RULES AND AGREEMENTS

I will comply with ALL RedPoint rules, both written and as stated to me by RedPoint staff, during my participation in Climbing Activities.

Furthermore, I understand that the teaching of rock climbing safety procedures is not allowed in the facility except by RedPoint staff members.  I understand that RedPoint reserves the right to refuse or terminate service for any reason not discriminatory, at any time.

 

Furthermore, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by RedPoint Indoor Climbing, Inc. to hospitalize, secure proper treatment for, and to order injections, anesthesia and surgery as needed for me or my child named as "Participant." I do hereby give consent to RedPoint Indoor Climbing, Inc. to treat an injury occurring during climbing activities and seek definitive care in it is deemed necessary. It is my intention to exempt, relieve, and hold harmless RedPoint Indoor Climbing, Inc. and each of the other released parties from liability for personal injury, illness, property damage or wrongful death while I am engaged in this event, even if caused by negligence or any other cause, to the fullest extent permitted by law.  My signature below indicates that I have read this entire document, understand it completely, and agree to be bound by all its terms and conditions.  Additionally, I give RedPoint Indoor Climbing, Inc. permission to use in its catalog, brochure, or on its website any picture in which the likeness of myself and/or my child appears and agree to notify RedPoint in writing if I contest this practice immediately.

I also agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, said portion of this agreement shall be deemed separate, distinct and independent, and shall be ineffective to the extent it (i) invalidates the remaining provisions of the Agreement in that jurisdiction or (ii) affects the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
