Such risks include but are not limited to: actual or alleged transmission of a communicable disease such as COVID-19; falls while skiing or entering/exiting the water; teaching techniques, lessons, or coaching; collisions with boats, docks, skiers, or other obstacles; boat accidents, boat speed, or operator error; equipment failure or defects; tow rope injuries and entanglement; drowning; capsizing; water flow, tides, currents, and wakes; slips and falls on docks or shorelines; exposure to weather, heat, sun, insects, wildlife, or waterborne hazards; mental distress arising from any of the foregoing; and the negligence of employees, volunteers, or other individuals. I VOLUNTARILY PERMIT THE PARTICIPANT TO ENGAGE IN THESE ACTIVITIES WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THESE RISKS, AND I ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE RISKS LISTED ABOVE ARE NOT A COMPLETE LIST AND THAT PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY MAY INVOLVE OTHER RISKS NOT DESCRIBED HERE.

I agree that the Participant will: wear a properly fitted USCG-approved life jacket when required; remain seated while the boat is underway unless instructed otherwise; keep hands, feet, ropes, and equipment clear of the motor and propeller; follow all instructions from boat operators, spotters, and instructors; and immediately report injuries, equipment concerns, or unsafe conditions. Failure to follow safety instructions may result in removal from activities.
4. Assumption of Risk
I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks and dangers associated with participation in the Wakeboard Camp, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, inherent or otherwise, including risks arising from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by law. I recognize that property loss, injury, and death are all possible while participating in the Activity, and, recognizing these risks and dangers, I voluntarily choose to allow the Participant to participate and expressly assume all such risks.

This release does not apply to gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6. Medical Authorization
I certify that the Participant is physically capable of participating. If I cannot be contacted immediately in an emergency, I authorize the HOA, its volunteers, and emergency personnel to call for medical care, and to transport the Participant to a medical facility or hospital if, in the opinion of such personnel, medical attention is needed. I agree to be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with such medical care and related transportation.
7. Minor Acknowledgment
Because the Participant is a minor, I acknowledge that I am signing this Agreement both on my own behalf and on behalf of the minor Participant, and that the Participant shall be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. By signing, I understand that I am also waiving rights on behalf of the minor Participant that the minor may otherwise have, and I agree that, but for signing this Agreement, the Participant would not be permitted to participate in the camp. I represent, under penalty of fraud, that I am a legal parent or guardian of the Participant and have the authority to sign this Agreement on the Participant's behalf.
8. Indemnification
I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all liability, cost, expense, or damage of any kind, and from any suits, claims, or demands, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of or related to the Participant's participation in the Wakeboard Camp. This indemnification obligation shall survive the conclusion of the Participant's participation in the camp.
9. Miscellaneous
I further agree and understand that: (a) the Participant will not engage in any activity prohibited by applicable laws, statutes, regulations, or ordinances; (b) this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi, and the exclusive venue and jurisdiction for any claim arising out of this Agreement shall be the state courts located in Madison County, Mississippi, to which I expressly consent; (c) this Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supersedes any prior oral or written communications or representations; (d) this Agreement is a binding contract to the fullest extent permitted by law, and if any part of it is found unenforceable, the remaining terms shall remain a valid and enforceable agreement between the parties; and (e) this Agreement binds my and the Participant's heirs, next of kin, executors, and personal representatives.
