Crystal Lake Park District Waiver and Release of All Claims and Assumption of Risk
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Crystal Lake Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and
holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Crystal Lake Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants
follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs.
You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward is physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity. WARNING OF RISK: Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen.
Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slip and falls,
poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate
supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist. In this regard, it must be
recognized that it is impossible for the Crystal Lake Park District to guarantee absolute safety. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in the programs listed below, you will be expressly
assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain
as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with these programs (including transportation services and vehicle
operations, when provided). I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in these programs, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result
of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in these programs against the Crystal Lake Park District including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees. I have read and
fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via
fax, my on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature. PARTICIPATION WILL BE DENIED
if the signature of adult participant or parent/guardian and date are not on this waiver.
In the event of an emergency, I authorize the Crystal Lake Park District to secure any/all necessary medical attention from my accredited hospital
and/or ward and further agree that I will be responsible for any and all medical services rendered.
I have read and fully understand the Important Information, Warning of Risk and Release of all Claims & Assumption of Risk located on this form. I
further understand that my signature is required below in order to participate in Crystal Lake Park District programs.
