Warning of Risk

  Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury, including but not limited to head injury, neck or back injury, wrist and ankle fractures, and other orthopedic injuries to limbs and joints. Individuals who have a history of these problems should seek the advice of their physician BEFORE engaging in activities that may aggravate pre-existing problems.

  It is impossible to foresee all hazards and dangers. The very nature of ice- skating is risky, including but not limited to slip and falls, colliding with other skaters of varying degrees of skill (including being struck from behind), tripping on irregular ice surfaces, cuts from skate blades, inadequate or defective equipment, ill-fitting skates, failure in supervision or instruction, horseplay, carelessness, poor technique, poor conditioning, rule violations, striking a stationary object, premises defects outside the rink, and all other risks inherent to the sport of ice-skating. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the sponsoring organization to guarantee absolute safety.

Rules
