In addition, I understand, acknowledge, and agree that my participation in the Program may involve locations that may be remote and located substantial distances from available medical assistance and/or competent medical assistance.

I agree to follow all instructions and guidelines provided by the Program s leaders, and to act is a safe and responsible manner towards all Program participants and other third parties with whom I come into contact in the course of the Program. BASED ON THE FOREGOING, and being solely responsible for my own age, skill level, and physical condition (including physical problems such as cardiac conditions, hypertension, orthopedic problems, and other personal, pre-existing medical ailments), and the nature of the Program and the Risks outlined hereinabove, I FULLY UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT MY VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN MINOR TO FATAL INJURIES, WHICH MAY INCLUDE BUT SHALL NOT BE LIMITED TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DEATH.

Baptist Church, Baton Rouge, La and its representatives as Good Samaritans and absolve them from any and all liability associated with my treatment and care to the fullest extent of the law.

I intend for this to be a full and complete release of all liability to the fullest extent allowed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, which shall govern the interpretation of same without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
