1.Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Waiver Form for Slow and Steady Hikers Hiking Club

By completing and signing this contract you acknowledge that you agree to and understand the terms and conditions herein. You are waiving certain legal rights, including the right to sue The Slow and Steady Hikers hiking club, their organizers, directors, volunteers, representatives and members. Please read this contract carefully.

You, the participant, acknowledge that participation in any hiking, snowshoeing, skiing or any other outdoor activity organized by Slow and Steady Hiker (“SSH”) carries with it inherent risks including, but not limited to, the risk of injury or death. And you, the participant, freely accept and fully assume all such risk(s). It is the responsibility of each participant of a trip to familiarize themselves with the risks of hiking and other activities including but not limited to skiing and snowshoeing, to weigh those risks against the advantages, and to decide whether or not to participate. The hiking clubs executive, organizers, and members cannot and will not assume liability in respect of any of these risks, dangers, hazards and liabilities. Participants further acknowledge that it is their responsibility to ensure that they carry adequate medical, extended health, dental and accident insurance coverage, as well as protection for personal possessions. It is the participant’s individual responsibility to verify that they are in good health and are physically capable of carrying out the hiking activity or any activity organized by the hiking club.

I am aware that the members of the SSH, acting as trip coordinators of activities, are not professional leaders, guides, or licensed first aid attendants. I am aware that the volunteer trip coordinators may not have completed an outdoor leadership course or have first aid (including wilderness) training or experience in either and are not responsible for my safety or that of any children and/or pets I bring while participating in such activity. I am aware that other participants with me in the activity are not responsible for my safety or that of any children and/or pets I bring.

I acknowledge that SSH, are not responsible for providing transportation to and from the activity location and that I may have to make my own private arrangements for my transportation. If I participate in carpooling with other participants in the particular event, then I do so entirely at my own risk and without any right to claim against the SSH for any loss, damages, or personal injury whatsoever I may suffer. I agree to assume all of the risks and responsibilities associated with my transportation to and from the activity location.

We are a free membership club. There are no paid guides. Organizers plan trips and allow members to come on their own free will. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and we hike together as would a group of friends. We will watch out for each other and take care of each other as best we can. Therefore, in consideration of being allowed to participate, individuals release the hiking club, and its organizers, executive, webmasters, email senders and members from all liability in respect of any personal injury suffered any damage or loss of personal property, which may arise out of participation in a hiking club activity. I am of the full age of 18 years.
