In consideration of the services of Gateway Parks, LLC, their agents, owners, officers, volunteers, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as “GP”), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge GP, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:

1. I acknowledge that my participation involving the zip line entails known and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. The risks include, among other things: The zip lines are based on the “challenge by choice” principle. At any time you and/or your group are free to withdraw from participation in the zip line course activities and its potential for: slips and falls; the risk of falling from significant heights, standing or walking near slopes and steep cliffs; rope burns; pinches, scrapes, twists and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severe life threatening injuries; musculoskeletal injuries including head, neck and back injuries; exposure to temperature and weather extremes which could cause hypothermia, hyperthermia (heat related illnesses), heat exhaustion, heat stroke, sunburn, dehydration; exposure to potentially dangerous wild animals, insect bites, and hazardous plant life; equipment failure; the negligence of other participants or persons who may be present; the forces of nature, including lightning and rapid weather changes; the risk of exposure to insect bites; the risk of cold including hypothermia; transmissible pathogen or disease; my own physical condition, and the physical exertion associated with this activity.
Furthermore, GP personnel 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 might misjudge GP the weather or other environmental conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions, and the equipment being used might malfunction.

2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.

3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless GP from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of GP’s equipment or facilities, including any such claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of GP.

4. Should GP or anyone acting on their 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.

5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any medical or physical condition I may have.

6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against GP, I agree to do so solely in the state of Idaho and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect.

By signing this document, I acknowledge GP that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against GP on the basis of any claim from which I have released them herein. I also agree that this document is valid for subsequent visits and participation at GP. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
