STORM CHASING FOR SCIENCE LLC
Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement
ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
Participant acknowledges and agrees that I have voluntarily applied to
participate in a storm chasing tour organized and conducted by STORM CHASING FOR SCIENCE LLC (“SCFS”), with full knowledge of the risks and hazards associated with storm chasing. I am aware that storm chasing is an inherent dangerous activity that can result in personal injury, illness, death and property damage. Storm chasing can subject the Participant to the risks associated with severe weather, including, but not limited to, tornados, hail, wind, lightning, rain, flooding, downed trees and branches, and exposure to the elements and to flying objects. These risks could also expose you to fire and helium asphyxiation. While searching for or pursuing a storm in a vehicle, there is a high risk of hydroplaning, losing control of the vehicle, hitting debris and animals, as well as having or encountering traffic accidents with other drivers, including other storm chasers. All of these experiences are likely to result in a heightened level of anxiety and may lead to undesirable mental or physical conditions or illnesses and/or aggravate any existing mental or physical health conditions a Participant may have. I AFFIRM I HAVE FULL KNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT ALL DANGERS INVOLVED WITH THE ACTIVIITY OF STORM CHASING AND FREELY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ANY AND ALL RISKS OF PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND ANY OTHER LOSS I MIGHT SUSTAIN FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY.
WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY
Participant does hereby waive and release STORM CHASING FOR SCIENCE LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company, its successors and assigns, and its members, officers, employees and agents (collectively “Releasees”), from any and all actions, claims, causes of actions or demands that I now have or may have in the future, for personal injury, illness, death, property damage and any other loss I might sustain, related in any way, whether directly or indirectly with, my participation in the storm chasing activities through SCFS. This waiver and release shall be binding on the Participant and the heirs, personal representatives and assignees of the Participant. Further, Participant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees, and each of them, from any and all loss, liability, damage and cost, including, but not limited to, court cost and attorney fees, they may incur as a result of any action or omission to act on the part of Participant, whether directly or indirectly related to Participant’s storm chasing activities through SCFS.
