CONSENT, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
Explanation of the nature of the risk.
Use of a floating Sauna (the “Sauna”) at Kiln LLC (“Kiln”) can involve significant risk of bodily injury, death and can create a risk to your health and well-being. These risks stem from the inherent nature of the activities associated with the use of any heated sauna. In addition, use of a floating Sauna such as that here presents unique risks of injury or death in addition to those described above related to the use of saunas generally. These unique risks stem from using the Sauna in cold weather, and using the Sauna in conjunction with, in proximity with and over water, including frigid water. These conditions may result in health or medical conditions, drowning, slip and fall, electrocution, dizziness and dehydration, shock, and hypothermia, and illness. These risks can stem from the environment in which the Sauna is used, and also from the failure of the Sauna itself.
Please review the below Rules and Warnings. To minimize risks and the possibility of death or injury, please follow all Rules and be aware of and adhere to all Warnings identified in the attachment. Unfortunately, Kiln cannot completely eliminate the risk associated with use of the Sauna and the possibility of injury or death.
