Please read carefully and be certain you understand the implications before signing.

Express Assumption of Risk Associated with Hiking and Related Activities

I acknowledge and affirm that I have been fully informed of the inherent risks and hazards associated with participating in hiking, transporting equipment, and traveling to and from activity sites in the Cheevo-organized event. These risks include, but are not limited to:

Significant risk of injury from the activity and equipment used, including potential for permanent disability or death.
Falling, which may cause broken bones, head, neck, or back injuries, potentially resulting in severe impairment or death.
Acts of nature, such as avalanches, rock falls, inclement weather, lightning, wind, temperature fluctuations, and other weather-related conditions.
Risks from crossing, climbing, or down-climbing rocks, snow, or ice.
Risks from river crossings, fordings, or portaging.
Possible equipment failure, whether rented, borrowed, or personally owned, which could lead to accidents.
My own negligence or the negligence of others, including employees, agents, or representatives of Cheevo.
Cold or heat-related injuries such as frostbite, heat exhaustion, sunburn, hypothermia, or dehydration.
Encounters with insects, reptiles, or animals.
Accidents or illnesses occurring in remote areas without medical facilities.
Fatigue, dizziness, or chills, which may impair my ability to react and increase the risk of accidents.
Physical coordination, balance, and the ability to follow instructions.
I understand that this list of risks is not exhaustive, and that unforeseen risks may also result in injury, illness, or death.
