Archery Games Waiver and Disclaimer

Inherent Risks

Whilst there are many benefits to the Activity, like all physical activities the Activity involves some risk of injury that are inherent to the Activity "inherent risks". The inherent risks include:

  • risks of bruising from arrowheads when arrows fired too close (closer than 5 metres).
  • sun exposure, heat exhaustion and dehydration,
  • over-exertion from running and jumping,
  • slips and falls and landing on unstable or hard surfaces; rolling ankles and similar falling injuries, whilst running or dodging,
  • collisions with other participants or with stationary objects,
  • unexpected failure of the equipment,
  • erratic or careless behaviour of other participants,
  • supervisory or judgment error by staff.

I have read and understood that the Activity contains inherent risks. I understand the demands of the Activity relative to my abilities (or that of my minor child), and I appreciate the types of injuries that may occur as a result of the Activity and the potential impact on my well-being and lifestyle (or that of my minor child). I confirm that my participation (or that of my minor child) is voluntary and that I (and my child) knowingly assume all inherent risks.
