INITIAL IF YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE In consideration of "The School" allowing the participant herein referred to as "The Participant" to utilize facilities and participate in paragliding and its associated activities, it is agreed to that: 1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK The participant is fully aware that paragliding and all associated activities are calculated risk sports and contain inherent risks and dangers, which cannot be completely eliminated by anyone.

The Participant knows that ram-air wings and ascending parachute canopies sometimes malfunction even when they are properly designed, manufactured, assembled, maintained, and used due to unforeseeable weather changes or operator inputs, including the risk that The Participant will fly into turbulent winds. The result of such paraglider malfunctions may be The Participant's serious injury or death. The participant acknowledges that paragliding flight involves travel in three (3) dimensions and that such activity is subject to mishap, injury and possibly even death.
