By choosing to participate, I acknowledge the nature of the activities and voluntarily assume the inherent risks associated with my participation.

I am responsible for determining whether I am physically able to participate. I agree to stop participating if I experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, unusual discomfort, or another symptom that makes continued participation unsafe.

Participants with questions or concerns about whether an activity is appropriate for them should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before participating.

This provision is not intended to release any person or organization from liability that cannot lawfully be waived or released under Texas law.

Participate at my own pace and within my abilities.
Maintain reasonable space between myself and other participants.
