actual knowledge and conscious appreciation of the particular risks involved in sports activities
organized by the University of West Florida. I acknowledge that the activities I will be participating in may involve
strenuous physical activity, physical interaction with other participants, travel, exposure to inclement weather and
other dangers, which may result in injuries to me, ranging from minor to severe, including serious permanent
disability, paralysis, or death. These types of injuries may result from my own actions, the actions or inactions of
others or a combination of both.
Other specific risks that may arise from my participation in these activities may also include, but are not
limited to abrasions, bruises, concussions, cuts, dehydration, dental/oral injury, dislocations, eye injury,
fungal/bacterial infection, fractures, head injury, heat illness, lacerations, ligament tears, muscle strain, scratches,
spinal injury, sprains, and vision loss.
I understand that participating in sports activities require a minimum level of fitness for safe
participation. I warrant that I am physically able to participate and have no physical condition that would prevent
my participation in this activity. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to secure appropriate personal
medical insurance and no such coverage is provided or implied by the University of West Florida.
I understand that the rules and instructions involved with this activity are designed for my safety and
protection and I hereby undertake to abide by all such rules and instructions. I understand that my failure to

Trustees (“University”) and those acting pursuant to its authority to record my likeness and/or voice on a video, audio,
photographic, digital, electronic or any other medium; use my name and biographical material in connection with such
recordings; and use, reproduce, exhibit, and/or distribute my name, biographical material, and such recordings on any
medium (e.g., print publications, video, internet, etc.) for a variety of promotional, advertising, educational, and/or other
lawful purposes. I agree to release the university from all liability related to the recordings and waive any claims or
rights of compensation or ownership regarding such uses, and agree and understand that all such recordings shall remain

the ordinary negligence of those involved, including Released Parties. I further a gr e e t o f o r ev er save and
hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim or lawsuit by me, my spouse, my family, estate, heirs, or
assigns, arising out of my participation in the program offered or sponsored by the University of West Florida,
including all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of or by
reason of, or be caused by use of my photograph, likeness or voice.
I expressly agree that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of
Florida and that if any portion is held to be invalid, it is agreed that the balance of the agreement shall continue
in full legal force and effect.
I acknowledge that in executing this Statement of Assumption of Risk, Informed Consent and
