Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement

This is a release. Read it carefully before signing. This release essentially states that I know that I am going on whitewater rafting trip in

a wilderness/outdoor environment – not on an amusement park ride or to an air-conditioned shopping mall. As a result of the inherent risks in this

activity, I know I may die, get hurt, or damage my belongings. If any of these occur, I understand that I cannot make a claim, sue, or expect

Whitewater Excitement Unlimited, Inc., its owners, officers, agents, employees, associates, the State of California, its Department of Parks and

Recreation, the US Bureau of Reclamation, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Placer County Water Agency, and Sacramento Municipal Utility

District (hereinafter referred to collectively as Whitewater Excitement) to be legally responsible or pay for any damages.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF RISKS: I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen to go

on this whitewater rafting trip with Whitewater Excitement. Certain risks are inherent in any recreational activity and cannot be eliminated, altered,

or controlled, and these risks that contribute to the unique character of the activity can also be the cause of injury, illness, death, and damages. I

know and fully understand that a whitewater rafting trip, whether on a raft, oar boat, inflatable kayak, or any type of vessel, is an outdoor adventure

activity in a wilderness environment with inherent risks and hazards where serious accidents can occur, participants can die, sustain injuries and

property damage. Also I understand that CLASS IV AND V represent the most difficult and dangerous levels of whitewater and recognize that the

risks associated with whitewater rafting are greatly increased.

I acknowledge and willingly assume all risks and hazards in whitewater rafting and river-related camping from the pre-

embarkation rendezvous until the conclusion of the trip, including, but not limited to, (1) loss of control of the raft, falls in, out, or about the raft,

collision with other participants, equipment, other rafts, rocks, trees, and any portion of the interior of the raft, and any other man-made or natural

obstacles, whether obvious or not; (2) judgement, decision-making and conduct of the guides; (3) submersion in water, drowning; (4) encounters

with animals, wildlife and insects; (5) exposure to wilderness environment, extreme temperatures, and inclement weather, remote areas, wilderness

terrain, including travel by foot or vehicle in any way related to this activity, whether at camp or elsewhere; (6) assistance in lifting and/or carrying

rafting equipment; (7) rescue-related injuries; and (8) unavailability of immediate and appropriate medical attention in case of injury.

I further understand and acknowledge that Whitewater Excitement provides foot cups in some of its rafts to assist participants in

stabilizing themselves. The use of foot cups may present an increased risk of knee, ankle, or other injuries because of their restrictive nature. Use

of foot cups is totally voluntary.

I understand and acknowledge that the above list is not complete or exhaustive, and that other risks, known or unknown, anticipated or

unanticipated, may also exist and result in injury, illness, disease, death or damage. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I

elect to do so at my own risk.

Release: In consideration for Whitewater Excitement allowing me to participate on this trip, I voluntarily agree to release, discharge, and

hold harmless Whitewater Excitement and for any and all claims of liability arising out of their negligence, fault, recklessness, or any other act or

omission which causes the undersigned illness, injury, disease, death, and damages of any nature in any way connected with my participation in

this rafting activity. I also expressly agree to release and discharge Whitewater Excitement from any act of omission of negligence in rendering or

failing to render any type of rescue or medical services. In signing this document, I fully recognize and understand that if I (or any minor of

whose behalf I am signing this release) am hurt, die, or my property is damaged, I am giving up my right to make a claim or file a lawsuit

against Whitewater Excitement, even if they negligently or by some other act omission cause the injury or damage.

I further agree, to hold harmless, defend, and indemnify, Whitewater Excitement from all defense costs, including attorney’s fees incurred

in connection with claims for bodily injury, wrongful death, or property damage, sustained by any minor under 18 years of age on whose behalf I am

signing, or which I may have caused to spectators or other third parties, whether negligent or not, in the course or my participation in this activity.

As a parent or legal guardian of a participant under 18 years of age, I have read and voluntarily agree that said minor may participate in

this whitewater rafting trip, and I sign this release on their behalf and on the behalf of the minor’s parents and/or legal guardians. In addition, I give

Whitewater Excitement permission to treat said minor in cause of illness, injury, emergency, or accident. Should emergency medical services

become necessary, for the undersigned participant or minor, the expenses are the sole responsibility of the participant and not that of Whitewater

Excitement. Personal Travel and Medical insurance is strongly advised for all participants. Whitewater Excitement has made no effort to

determine, and accepts no responsibility for, medical, physical or other qualifications or the suitability of Participant, or other participants, for the

activities. Client, and the parent or guardian of a minor participant, accepts full responsibility for determining Participant’s medical, physical or other

qualifications or suitability for participating in whitewater rafting activities.

Whitewater Excitement reserves the right to accept or deny service to any person. I hereby agree to follow all rules, regulations, and the

instructions of Whitewater Excitement while on this trip. I also certify that I and any minor on whose behalf I am signing, are physically and mentally

capable of participating in these activities. I hereby represent that I have informed Whitewater Excitement of any pertinent medical conditions that

may affect my or the minor’s participation in these rafting activities. I hereby agree that Whitewater Excitement may use film, voice, or photographic

records of this rafting trip for its promotional and/or commercial purposes. The Venue of any dispute that may arise out of this agreement or

otherwise between the parties to which Whitewater Excitement or its agents is a party shall be either the city of Auburn Justice Court or the County
