THIS IS A LEGAL
CONTRACT WITH LEGAL CONSEQUENCES, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
I, _____________________________, would like to work as a volunteer this summer with Friends of the Dillon
Ranger District (FDRD). I am at least 18 years of age (or, if I am
younger than 18 years of age, my parent or guardian must also sign this Release
of Liability) and in good health. I have no allergy or other disorder
that could prevent me from working safely as a volunteer. I realize that my
participation in an FDRD program may involve using heavy tools and that I will
be working with other participants who may not be accustomed to this kind of
labor. I FULLY REALIZE THE DANGERS OF PARTICIPATING IN AN EVENT OF THIS TYPE
AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH PARTICIPATION. I
understand the risks include, by way of example and not limitation, the following:
rock fall, rock and snow slides, lightning, sudden changes in weather, altitude
sickness, dehydration, injuries resulting from heavy labor or trail tools,
falling trees and aggressive wildlife; and I will not hold FDRD, any of its
employees or directors or any affiliated organization responsible for these or
other hazards. Because the work will be performed in a back country
setting, I understand that emergency medical care may not be readily available.
I will follow all directions from FDRD personnel and comply with all applicable
rules for volunteers working with this program. In return for my receiving
permission from FDRD and any other sponsoring organization to participate in
the project, and for other good and valuable consideration, I fully release and
indemnify FDRD and all other sponsoring organizations, as well as their
respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from all liability,
claims, demands, and causes of action, arising out of damage, loss, or injury
to me (including death) or to my property, from whatever cause, as a result of
my participation in the project. I intend this Release of Liability to be
broadly construed for the benefit of the released parties and to be binding
upon my family, heirs, personal representatives, and insurers. I grant FDRD and
other sponsoring organizations permission to use my image in photographic or
video recordings of the project, and I waive any right to compensation for such
use.
