My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. 3) I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless WCHS from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, my use of their equipment or facilities, or my volunteering for WCHS, arising from negligence. Should WCHS or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney's fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs. 4) I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else I agree to bar the costs of such injury or damage to myself.
