With full knowledge of the inherent risks of the Activity and other risks of personal injury, including catastrophic injury, paralysis, and death, and property loss that may occur while I or my minor are at or participating in the Activity, I hereby release, fully discharge, covenant not to sue, and agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend BYU, or it's affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from all claims of damage or liability that may result from my or my minors participation in the Activity.

In addition, I agree to pay any attorney fees or costs incurred by BYU in enforcing this Agreement.
I further state that there are no health-related reasons or problems which preclude or restrict my or my minors participation in this Activity, and that I or my minor have adequate health insurance necessary to provide for and pay any medical costs that may be attendant as a result of injury or harm to me or my minor. I consent to any medical treatment that may be necessary or advisable in the event of an injury. I attest that I have carefully read these terms and fully understand their content; am aware that this is a release of liability, covenant not to sue, and agreement to indemnify; and that I am signing of my own free will. It is my express intent that this Agreement shall bind the members of my family and spouse, if I am alive, and my heirs, assigns, and personal representatives, if I am deceased. If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then it is agreed and intended that all the remainder shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.
