PARTICIPATING ON OR ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES IN PROXIMITY TO THE PARK (AS DEFINED BELOW) MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, PHYSICAL OR MENTAL INJURY, ILLNESS OR DISEASE, OR DEATH. SOME ACTIVITIES AT FLIP SIDE ARE CONSIDERED EXTREME SPORTS AND HIGH RISK RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES.

 

This Agreement is between me and FLIP SIDE WATERSPORTS OF ALABAMA, LLC (collectively, “FLIP SIDE”) and each of their respective successors, lessors, assignees, licensees, parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates (including without limitation, the Alabama Department of Conservation of Natural Resources), related companies and business concerns, past and present, and each of them, as well as each of their partners, owners, trustees, directors, managers, officers, members, intellectual property holders, agents, attorneys, and employees, past and present (collectively referred to as “Releasees”). My acceptance acknowledges that I or the minor for whom I am a legal guardian (collectively referred to as “I,” “me,” or “my”) have voluntarily chosen to participate in activities within FLIP SIDE, including riding or participating within the “PARK” (i.e., the park created by FLIP SIDE) or engage in other activities in or around the park, including but not limited to swimming or wakeboarding, using the aqua park, using water vessels or other equipment, or any other activity that may be offered at the Facilities (as defined below) from time to time (collectively referred to as the “Activities”) and/or engage or use FLIP SIDE’s property, facilities, or equipment (collectively referred to as the “Facilities”). In consideration of the permission granted to me by FLIP SIDE to participate in the Activities and/or use the Facilities, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, I hereby AGREE, promise, and covenant on behalf of myself, my spouse, heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and estate, as follows:

 

1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF RISKS:

 

(a) I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE that use of the Facilities and/or participating in the Activities in which I am about to voluntarily engage are inherently dangerous, represent an extreme test of my physical and mental limits and condition, and bear certain known risks and unanticipated risks that could result in PHYSICAL OR MENTAL INJURY, DEATH, ILLNESS OR DISEASE, OR DAMAGE to me or my property. I understand and acknowledge those risks may result in claims against the Releasees. However, I am making an informed choice to voluntarily accept and assume such risks due to the thrills, excitement, and/or other benefits of participating in the Activities and/or using the Facilities, and I agree that the benefits of participating in the Activities and/or using the Facilities outweigh the risks, which include but in no way are limited to:

 

(1) The acts, omissions, and/or negligence in any degree of the Releasees or their agents or employees;

 

(2) the risks inherent in the Activities, including but not limited to any injuries such as: (a) broken bones (including cartilage) or fractures to any part of the human anatomy, including head, back, neck and spinal cord; (b) concussions; (c) dislocations; (d) torn ligaments and tendons; (e) sprains and strains; (f) cuts to the head, body, and/or limbs; (g) torn nails; (h) bumps and bruises; and (i) eye injuries, including loss of sight;

(7) first aid, emergency treatment, or services rendered or failed to be rendered by the Releasees or their agents or employees.

 

Further, I acknowledge that any injuries I may sustain or illness I contract may be compounded by negligent emergency response(s) of the Releasees, any medical and/or emergency personnel, or any other third party.

 

(b) I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE that swimming in the lake at the Facility entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand and acknowledge that such risks cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the Activity, and I agree that the benefits of swimming in the lake outweigh the risks, which include but in no way are limited to:

 

(1) drowning, near-drowning, having a muscle cramp and drowning, or near drowning, panicking and drowning or near drowning, being trampled, struck and pushed underwater by other swimmers, another swimmer panicking and causing me to drown, getting tired or exhausted and then drowning or near drowning, discovery of some unknown medical problem during or after the swim which causes some injury/death;

I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE that (i) I am not under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or any drug, prescribed or otherwise, which would in any way impair my ability to participate in the Activities; (ii) I can swim (if I choose to swim); (iii) I have the skill level necessary to safely ride or participate in the PARK activities (if I choose to participate in PARK Activities); (iv) I am in good physical and mental health and in proper physical condition to participate in the Activities; and (v) I am not suffering from any condition, disease, illness, or disablement which would or could potentially affect participation in the Activities or use of the Facilities. Further, I ACKNOWLEDGE that I am not purchasing or leasing the PARK, but rather am being afforded a non-exclusive, revocable license to use the PARK on a limited basis. I agree to be familiar with and to abide by all rules and regulations established for the Activities in which I participate. I also accept sole responsibility for my own conduct and actions while participating in these Activities and the condition and adequacy of any equipment that I might own and/or supply in conjunction with those Activities. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE that it is impossible for FLIP SIDE to determine whether I have the proper training, experience. or fitness level to participate in the Activities or use the Facilities, or for FLIP SIDE to determine whether I fully comprehend any instructions or training provided at the Facilities, and I expressly acknowledge, accept, and assume all risks associated with inadequate training or experience whether or not such training or experience is provided at the Facilities and/or by or on behalf of FLIP SIDE.

VOLUNTARY ACCEPTANCE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY: I EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREE, COVENANT, AND PROMISE TO ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITIES AND RISK FOR INJURY, DEATH, ILLNESS, DISEASE, OR DAMAGE to me or to my property arising from and/or relating to my participation in the Activities and/or use of the Facilities.

I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY THAT IS VALID FOREVER and will apply to all of my current and future participation in the Activities and/or use of the Facilities. I understand that this RELEASE OF LIABILITY will prevent me, my spouse, my child, my heirs, or my estate from bringing any action at law, suit in equity, or other jurisdictional proceeding or making any claim for damages, injury, or death in the event of damage, injury, or death arising from my participation in the Activities and/or use of the Facilities.

 

I FURTHER AGREE, PROMISE, AND COVENANT TO HOLD HARMLESS AND TO INDEMNIFY the Releasees from all defense costs, including court costs, attorneys’ fees, and/or any other costs incurred in connection with claims for mental or bodily injury, wrongful death, or property damage that may be filed by me, my spouse, my child, my heirs, and/or my estate. Such indemnity and defense obligation shall further extend to any claim, loss, or lawsuit that alleges that I negligently or intentionally caused any injury, death, or damage to spectators or other third parties in the course of my participation in the Activities and/or use of the Facilities.
