This includes demands in respect to death, injury, loss, or damage to my child or my property, howsoever caused, arising out of or in connection with me taking part in this course notwithstanding that the same may have been contributed to or caused or occasioned by the negligence of the same bodies, or any of them, or their agents, officials, servants, or representatives. I acknowledge that by participating in this course I may be subjected to risks of injury of every nature. My activities may include the maneuvering of a boat or other watercraft in deep waters and in potentially hazardous conditions which could include, among other risks, cold water temperatures with exposure to hypothermia, strong winds and high waves, sudden and unexpected immersion in deep waters as well as collision with other watercraft or stationary objects such as docks, pilings and buoys. In the event I or other family members or anyone on behalf of me should attempt to pursue any claim against any of the released parties, I hereby agree to hold harmless and to indemnify such parties from any and all claims that may be brought against them including actual attorneys fees or costs that may be incurred in defending such claims. I accept responsibility for my participation and agree that it is my responsibility to determine whether I should be participating.
