LCCC Assumption of Risk and Agreement to Hold Harmless

In participating in recreation activities conducted by LCCC's Health, Physical Education and Recreation Programs, I expect that every effort will be made to keep all facilities/equipment in a safe and workable condition.

However, I understand that the entire responsibility is not that of the college.  I, too, have a responsibility for my own safe participation. I must call to the attention of the staff any situation which I perceive to be a potential danger to me or my fellow participants. This might include, but will not be limited to:

1.  Equipment that has broken or is in need of repair.

2.  When I am not feeling well or am unduly fatigued.

3.  When I have unusual difficulty in performing well.

Also, I am obligated to follow the rules and regulations set down by the college for my safety. This includes proper dress, such as athletic shoes and protective equipment, e.g. eyeglass guards. If I choose not to use such protective equipment as provided or requested, I realize that I am doing so at my own peril and that injury might occur.

I am aware that participation in physical activities entails a certain amount of risk, including injury caused by the actions of another participant. I understand that the dangers and risks of participating in this activity may result, in extreme cases, not only in serious injury, but in an impairment of my future abilities to engage in other business, social and recreational activities.

I hereby, on behalf of myself, my heirs, estate, executor, administrator, assignees, and for all members of my family, assume all risks associated with participation, and agree to hold harmless Lorain County Community College, its employees, agents, representatives, instructors and other personnel, for any and all liability, actions, causes of action, debts, claims or demands of any kind and nature, whatsoever, which may arise by, or in connection with, my participation in any activities related to this activity.
