1. ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISK.

I understand that boating and associated water activities (including, but not limited to: swimming, jumping or diving into a body of water, use of any slide to enter a body of water, tubing, kayaking, paddle boarding and/or fishing) (hereinafter referred to as the “Activities”) are inherently dangerous. I further understand that there is a significant risk of serious physical injury, including paralysis and death, as well as other damages inherent in boating and the Activities and in my (or any minor for whom I am the parent, guardian or otherwise responsible) (hereinafter referred to as the “Minor”) use of any boat owned, operated or supplied by FLOATING TAVERN, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Boat”) and participation in any Activities. These risks and hazards can include, but are not limited to, drowning, injuries arising from falling and striking objects or other people; being struck by falling objects or people; failure of any part of the Boat and/or apparatus used for Activities; defective, slippery, worn, or uneven decks, flooring or pads; electrocution; laceration or death caused by, among other things, boat propeller(s); strained or sprained muscles, joints and connective tissue; broken bones; personal injury, including paralysis, death, illness, property damage, and other losses. Injury or death can arise from errors in judgment, from lack of training or information, from the negligence of me (or the Minor), FLOATING TAVERN, LLC, including its members, owners, contractors, employees, agents or other parties, as well as the risks normally associated with boating, athletic or water-based endeavors. I understand that such serious risks of harm and death cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the Boat, boating and the Activities. I understand that my (or the Minor’s) use of the Boat and any instruction or knowledge I (or the Minor) obtain(s) during the course of that use IS NOT sufficient to prepare me (or the Minor) for the dangers and risks of boating and the Activities. I THEREFORE CERTIFY THAT I (OR THE MINOR) UNDERSTAND(S) BOATING AND THE ACTIVITIES EXPOSE ME (OR THE MINOR) TO A HIGH RISK OF INJURY OR ACCIDENT. I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME AND ACCEPT ALL RISKS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH OR DAMAGE OF WHATEVER KIND ARISING OUT OF MY (OR MINOR’S) USE OF THE BOAT OR PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES.
