I understand that the above description of risks is not complete and that other unknown or unanticipated risks, hazards and dangers may result in injury, damage, death, or other loss.

I acknowledge that I am fully capable of participating in these activities without causing harm to myself or others. I understand that the presence of Weber State University personnel is no assurance of my safety or the lessening of any of these risks. I also understand that it is my responsibility to know or find out how to limit or prevent the risks associated with the activities I choose to participate in.
I understand that the Rules and Regulations are designed for safety and protection of participants, and hereby undertake to abide by these rules and regulations.

I understand certain activities may require a minimum level of FITNESS AND HEALTH (physical, mental, and emotional) and that each person has a different capacity for participating in these activities. I understand it is my responsibility to discuss any concerns with my doctor if I have doubt in my mind as to my health and fitness capabilities to participate in these activities.
My participation in these activities is purely voluntary and I choose to participate in spite of and with knowledge of the risks. Therefore, I assume and accept full responsibility for me, for those risks identified here and for those risks not identified, and for injury, death, property loss or expenses suffered by me resulting from those risks and my participation.
I agree that Utah State Law governs this, and all other aspects of my relationship with the Weber State University. Further, any mediation, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to my enrollment or participation in these activities, must be filed exclusively in the State of Utah, and Utah State Law shall apply.
I certify that I have medical insurance or otherwise agree to be personally responsible for costs of any emergency or other medical care that I receive. I agree to release State of Utah, Weber State University, and their agencies, departments, officers, employees, agents, and all sponsors, officials and staff or volunteers from the cost of any medical care that I receive as a result of my participation in the activities.
