I acknowledge that if I believe event conditions are unsafe, I will immediately discontinue participation in the Activity. (2) I fully understand Polar Plunging events involve risks of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death, which may be caused by my own actions, or inactions, those of others participating in the Activity, the conditions in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the "Releasees" named below; and that there may be other risks either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and (3) I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity. (4) I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue Special Olympics, its respective administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place, (each considered one of the "Releasees" herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the "Releasees" or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations; and (5) I further agree that if, despite this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as a result of such claim. (6) I have read this RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect. By my participation in this event I am granting permission to you to use my name, likeness, voice and words in television, radio, films, newspapers, magazines, and other media, and in any form not heretofore described, for the purpose of advertising or communicating the purposes and activities of Special Olympics in appealing for funds to support such activities.
