IN CONSIDERATION of being given the opportunity to participate in any William R. Boone High School Crew Team and/or Braves Rowing, Inc. ("Club") activities ("Rowing Activities", or the “Activity”) for the Club, I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin:

 2.      FULLY UNDERSTAND that: (a) ROWING ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS AND DANGERS of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death including specifically, but without limitation, that at Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake where the Club holds practices and regattas, and other Rowing Activities, there are alligators, snakes and other wild animals in or about the lake, and that it is possible for rowing and other boats to be overturned or flipped in the water causing rowers to be plunged into the water (“Risks”); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Rowing Activities, the condition in which the Rowing Activities take place, the weather, or the negligence of the Releasees named below; (c) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES I incur as a result of my participation in the Rowing Activities.

3.      AGREE AND WARRANT that I will examine and inspect each Activity in which I take part as a member of the Club and that, if I observe any condition which I consider to be unacceptably hazardous or dangerous, I will notify the proper authority in charge of the Activity and will refuse to take part in the Activity until the condition has been corrected to my satisfaction.
