2.3 Assumption of Risk. I freely accept and fully assume responsibility for all dangers and risks related to my participation in the Activities (including use of the Equipment and the Facilities) and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom.

RECOGNIZING THE RISKS AND DANGERS, I UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE ACTIVITY AND VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN AND EXPRESSLY ASSUME ALL RISKS AND DANGERS OF MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING USE OF THE EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES, WHETHER OR NOT DESCRIBED IN THIS AGREEMENT, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, INHERENT, OR OTHERWISE.

I acknowledge that any such emergency assistance or treatment may be rendered by persons with training or experience that may not be adequate for certain medical situations or the injuries sustained by me, and I waive any claim in respect thereof in accordance with Section 3 above. I expressly acknowledge that the Activities and the Facilities may be located far from medical facilities and that such distance may exacerbate any injury or condition I sustain. I will pay all costs associated with such medical care and related transportation.
