In consideration of the services of Pacific Crest Operations, LLC, dba Ziplines at Pacific Crest (“Operator”), I, adult Guest or Parent, for myself and to the maximum extent allowed by law, on behalf of the minor Guest, acknowledge and agree as follows: DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES: This Agreement applies to all aspects of a visit to the premises of the zipline tour, including enrollment, transportation and participation in the zipline tour itself, and related events or services provided, sponsored, authorized or allowed by the Operator (such zipline tour activities sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “zipline tour” or “the tour”).

Guests may be transported to the tour site and elsewhere in vehicles operated by the Operator. Guests may move across uneven and sometimes steep terrain, and climb stairs or ladders or other structures to access high platforms assisted by protective equipment (such as harnesses, lanyards and pulleys) and methods approved by the Operator. They then will traverse from platform to platform by means of high ropes course elements, ziplines , suspension bridges and sky-bridges at heights of up to 350 feet. Guests will descend from platforms by means of a rappel controlled by them or a device allowing a free fall and a mechanical lowering.

Other guests and Operator staff may act carelessly, including by failure to adequately secure safety equipment. Environmental conditions, including weather, may cause illness and injury. The activities of the zipline, moving about its premises and transportation to, from and upon the premises will expose guests to injury risks such as falls, collision with other persons and fixed objects, scrapes, bruises, stings, broken bones, sprains, neurological damage, shock, and, in extraordinary cases, death.
