Paintball
In order to participate myself or allow my child to participate, in any way, in the sport and activities of Paintball (also known as, Speedball) at Phantom Ranch Bible Camp, I acknowledge, and agree that:
1. There is a risk of injury, including a potential for permanent disability or death, resulting from any participation in the Paintball activities and from the equipment involved in participation, and while particular protective equipment and personal discipline will minimize this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist;
2. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks for myself or for my child, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of those persons released from liability below, or from other participants, and assume full responsibility for my participating;
3. I understand, or my child understands, that there are rules of play, including safety related rules and agrees to fully comply with the rules and safety regulations during my participation, and that if I or my child does not understand the rules of play I or my child will seek further instructions;
4. I understand or my child understands, that the activities of Paintball are physically and mentally intense, and will comply with all rules and regulations. I understand or my child understands that failure to follow rules may result in eviction from Paintball activities without refund;
5. If I, or my child, observes any unusual or unnecessary hazard during my participation, I, or my child, will bring such to the attention of the nearest official as soon as practical;
