Participant / guardian Must Sign Release - Required for EACH Participant
I wish to participate in the River Fest Flotilla and agree to assume all risk and liability associated with my participation. I recognize and acknowledge that such risks of participation include, but not limited to, personal injury and property damage due to interaction with other participants, crowds, vandals, traffic, inclement weather conditions, river conditions/environment, as well as losses related to theft.
I release the “Keepers of the Shiawassee, Inc.” its board members, and all other persons associated with the “Keepers of the Shiawassee, Inc.” as well as the volunteers assisting with the Flotilla activities, from any claim that their negligence injured or damaged me in any way during the River Fest Flotilla activities.
On behalf of myself, heirs, my successors and assigns, I so further agree to release and hold harmless and indemnify the “Keepers of the Shiawassee, Inc.” (its board members, members, and all other persons associated with the “Keepers of the Shiawassee, Inc.” as well as volunteers assisting with the Flotilla activities), from any and all liability or responsibility whatsoever for injury (or death) to myself/all persons, for any damage to property of others/City of Linden/Shiawassee River or injury/ damage to another party that may arise out of/or result from, my participation in the 2021 River Fest Flotilla activities. I also agree to pay all legal fees and costs they incur in defending against any such claim.
I am aware of the inherent risks of participating in the River Fest Flotilla activities and accept them. I am not aware of any physical or mental condition that would prevent me from, or could be aggravated by, participating in the River Fest Flotilla activities. I understand wearing an appropriate PFD (personal flotation device) for me is required while participating in the Flotilla activity. I fully understand maintenance/safe use of my boat and equipment is my responsibility.
I acknowledge I have completely read and understand this document and that any rules violation will result in my disqualification from participation in the Flotilla activities. I have read this release, understand it, have no questions, and sign it voluntarily.
