READ CAREFULLY—THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

I agree to the following:

Bad Axes, LLC aka Bad Axes is an axe-throwing facility that allows customers to particpate in axe throwing games.

Participant ~ Any customer or guest on Bad Axes premises, including monors, and including guests who do not actually throw any axes.

Inherent Rists ~ As with all activities, there are inherent risks of injury at Bad Axes.  Inherent risks are those risks that cannot be eliminated without changing the nature of the activity.

Some risks include, but are not limited to:

General facility risks ~ slips, falls, or trips due to uneven flooring, wet, icy or slippery surfaces, or items left on the floor; falling target and/or construction components.

Human error risks ~ erratic or negligent actions; failure to follow instructions, inadvertent inattentiveness, incorrect throwing or playing techniques, errors in judgement, failure to adequately train participants, judgement errors in emergency care, and inadequate emergency training of personnel.

Axe throwing risks ~ being hit by an axe - thrown or held - due to participant or staff inattentiveness, neglect, failure to follow instructions, incorrect throwing or playing techniques, errors in judgement, inadequate training, or purposeful or accidental assault and battery by a participant.

Types of injuries ~ All Participants must understand three categories of injuries which may oocur as a result of these inherent rists.  The most common are minor injuries, which include but are not limited to hand injuries (splinters, calluses, skin tears, pinches, punctures and cuts), bruises and scrapes and muscle strains.  Major injuries include but are not limited to broken bones, joint/ligament/tendon injuries, internal injuries, concussions, back injuries, and eye injuries.  Catastrophic injuries, though very rare, include but are not limited to:  loss of vision or hearing, permanent disabilities, heart attack, stroke, paralysis, or death.

In consideration for being allowed to participate in the Activity, which consideration is hereby expressly accepted and acknowledged, on behalf of myself, my representatives, heirs, agents administrators, trustees, executors, assigns, successors and on behalf of any party or parties who claim a right or interest through me (herein after, the "Particpant"), I HEREBY RELEASE, ACQUIT, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE, WITHOUT QUALIFICATION OR LIMITATION the Releases from any and all claims I may now and/or in the future may have against the Releases, and from any and all liability, for any personal injury, death and/or property damage, expense, and/or loss sustained by me as a result of my participation in the Activity due to any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to and without limitation, negligence, gross negligence, willful misconduct, including the failure to take reasonable steps to safeguard or protect me from the risk, dangers, an/or hazards of participating in the Activity, and/or breach of statutory or other duty, including duties arising from occupier's liability legislation.
