ASSUMPTION OF RISK: I fully understand and acknowledge that recreational axe throwing and/or log rolling may carry with it, inherent risks of injury (physical and/or mental). Inherent risks are risks that cannot be eliminated completely regardless of the care and precautions taken by Lumber Jack's Axe House, LLC and the other Released Parties. I understand that the Activities may be strenuous, and the accompanying risks are generally present. I further understand and acknowledge that any of these risks and others, not specifically named, may cause injuries that may include, but are not limited to: scrapes, bruises, sprains, cuts, splinters, muscle strain, property loss or damage, broken bones, fractures, torn or strained ligaments and tendons, concussions, dislocations, loss of consciousness, dizziness, fainting, seizures, eye irritations and/or injury, permanent disabilities, stroke, spinal injuries, paralysis, heart attack, and death. Notwithstanding the risks, which I readily acknowledge, I hereby willingly choose to participate in the Activities. Further, I acknowledge that there may be other risks not known to me or not reasonably foreseeable at this time. I understand that it is my responsibility to inspect the lanes, facilities, equipment, and areas to be used, and if I believe or become aware that any are unsafe or pose unreasonable risks, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the Activities and notify appropriate personnel. I fully understand the risks involved and assert that I (and/or my participating minor child/ward) am/are willingly and voluntarily participating in axe throwing and/or log rolling. I have read the preceding paragraphs and acknowledge that: 1) I understand the nature of axe throwing and/or log rolling; 2) I understand the demands of axe throwing and/or log rolling relative to my physical condition; and 3) I understand the potential impact of the types of injuries that may result from axe throwing and/or log rolling. I assert that I (and/or my minor child/ward to whom I have explained the inherent risks) knowingly assume all the risks of the Activities and take full responsibility for all damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses that I/we incur because of participating in the Activities. In short, I (and/or my participating minor child/ward) am/are participating entirely at my/our own risk.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE: I agree that under this agreement Lumber Jack's Axe House, LLC and the other Released Parties shall be excluded from liability for negligence in the conduct of axe throwing and/or log rolling. Lumber Jack's Axe House, LLC and the other Released Parties shall be excluded from liability under any civil liability or consumer law applicable to the State. In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I (on behalf of the Releasing Parties) hereby forever waive, release, covenant not to sue, and discharge Lumber Jack's Axe House, LLC and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, actions, suits, demands, losses and other liabilities in relation to any of death, physical or mental injury (including the aggravation, acceleration or occurrence of such an injury), the contraction, aggravation or acceleration of a disease or the coming into existence, aggravation, acceleration or occurrence of any other condition, circumstance, activity, form of behavior, course of conduct or state of affairs in relation to an individual that is or may be harmful or disadvantageous to me (and/or my participating minor child/ward) or the community or that may result in harm or disadvantage to me/us or the community resulting from the inherent risks of recreational axe throwing and/or log rolling or the negligence of Lumber Jack's Axe House, LLC (or the other Released Parties) that I (and/or my participating minor child/ward) may have arising out of my/our participation in the Activities.

In the event of an injury to me that renders me (and/or my participating minor child/ward) unconscious or incapable of making a medical decision, I authorize and give my consent to Lumber Jack's Axe, LLC and/or its Released Parties and emergency or medical personnel to make emergency medical decisions (including providing emergency medical treatment) on my (and/or my participating minor child/ward’s) behalf (including but not limited to CPR).
