Release of Responsibility and Consent for Medical Treatment

In consideration of participating in Faribault Softball, and for other good and valuable consideration, I hereby agree to release and
discharge from liability arising from negligence Faribault Wrestling Club and its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
volunteers, participants, and all other persons or entities acting for them (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Releasees”), on behalf
of myself and my children, parents, heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate, and also agree as follows:
1. I acknowledge that the sport of wrestling involves known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury,
paralysis or permanent disability, death and property damage. Risks include, but are not limited to, blindness, bruises or other injuries
caused by margers; injuries caused by falls or collisions with objects, other participants, or uneven surfaces; medical conditions
resulting from physical activity; and damaged clothing or other property. I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated, despite
the use of safety equipment, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
2. I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that might have been caused by the negligence of the
Releasees. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to participate despite the risks. In addition, if at any time I
believe that even conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to participate due to physical or medical conditions, then I will immediately
discontinue participation
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees 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 their equipment or
facilities, arising from negligence. This release does not apply to claims arising from intentional conduct. Should Releasees 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.
4. I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer to cause while participating in this activity, or
else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that I have no medical or physical condition which
could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may be created, directly
or indirectly, by any such condition.
5. In the event that I file a lawsuit, I agree to do so solely in the state where Releasees facility is located, and I further agree that the
substantive law of that state shall apply.
6. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force
and effect.
By signing this document, I agree that if I am hurt or my property is damaged during my participation in this activity, then I may be
found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on this basis of any claim for
negligence. I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with legal counsel prior to
signing. Also, I understand that this activity might not be made available to me or that the cost to engage in this activity would be
significantly greater if I were to choose not to sign this release, and agree that the opportunity to participate at the state cost in return
for the execution of this release is a reasonable bargain. I have read and understood this document and I agree to be bound by its
terms
