Assumption of Risk

I FULLY UNDERSTAND that injuries area common and expected part of mountain biking. The risks include, by way of example and not limitation, the following: collisions with other cyclists, pedestrians, vehicles, fixed or moving objects; falls; high speed descents, rapid or uncontrolled acceleration on hills and inclines, difficulty or inability to control one′ speed and direction, becoming lost or separated from other participants; equipment failures and malfunctions; slippery terrain, constructed features such as bridges; varying visibility; fatigue; dehydration; hypothermia; changing weather conditions, encounters with animals; stolen, lost, damaged or misplaced property. I understand the description of these risks is not complete and that unknown or unanticipated risks may result in property damage, illness injury, or death.


I ACKNOWLEDGE that (a) mountain biking is an inherently dangerous sport in which I participate at my own risk; (b) mountain biking involves risks and dangers of property damage, illness, serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death, (c) these risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the trip.
