I, in my own behalf and on behalf of Minor, further agree to release, indemnify and discharge SK, its agents, owners, shareholders, directors, partners, employees, volunteers, manufacturers, participants, lessors, affiliates, its subsidiaries, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns (hereinafter “Released Parties”), on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
- I understand and acknowledge that the activity the Minor is about to voluntarily engage in as a participant bears certain known risks and unanticipated risks which could result in physical, emotional, or mental injury, paralysis, illness or disease, death, or damage to Minor, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activities at SK. The risks include, among other things: Use of SK equipment entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.

Participants may fall off equipment, sprain, injure, or break fingers, toes, wrists, feet, legs, back, or neck, and can suffer more serious bodily injuries as well. In any event, if Minor is injured and may require medical assistance, you as parent or legal guardian will assume full liability and responsibility for the expenses. Furthermore, SK employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might become loose, out of adjustment, or malfunction. There is also a risk that SK employees may be negligent in, among other things, monitoring and supervising use of its equipment and facilities and in the maintenance and repair of its equipment and facilities.

I represent that I have full authority as Parent or Legal Guardian of the minor participant to bind the Minor participant to this Agreement.
- I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity on behalf of Minor. The Minor’s participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to have Minor participate in spite of all the risks.
- I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SK and all Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with Minor’s participation in this activity or use of SK equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of Released Parties.
I indemnify and save and hold harmless SK and the Released Parties against any loss, liability, damage or cost that may incur arising out of or in any way connected with the Minor’s use of SK equipment or gear provided therewith or any acts or omissions of the Released Parties.
Should SK or anyone acting on its behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. This means that I will pay all of those attorney’s fees and costs myself.
I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage that Minor may cause or suffer while participating in all SK activities, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to Minor myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition that Minor may have.
I expressly agree that this Agreement is governed by the States of New York and New Jersey and is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by New York and New Jersey law, and that in the event any portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the balance of the Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any way and shall continue in full legal force and effect. In the event that I file a lawsuit against SK, I agree to do so solely in the State of New York and New Jersey and I further agree that the substantive law of the State of New York and New Jersey shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of the law rules of that state.
I further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SK from any and all claims or lawsuits for personal injury, property damage or otherwise which are brought by, or on behalf of the Minor, and which are in any way connected with such use or participation by the Minor, including injuries or damages caused by the negligence of Released Parties, except injuries or damages caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnity.
I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the Minor does not have a health condition that would make it inadvisable for the Minor to participate in SK activities.

I also agree if anyone is hurt or property damaged during the Minor’s participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my or the Minor participant’s right to maintain a lawsuit against SK and the Released Parties on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein.
