In consideration of being allowed to participate in this event, organized and conducted by Furniture Repair Bank (hereby known as "FRB"), I, or my minor child (hereby known as “I”), acknowledge and agree as follows: The event in which I will be participating may include exposure to loud and/or sustained noise and physical exertion. These activities can include exposure to the natural elements, which may include heat, and cold, bodies of water such as river, rocks, trees, storms, sun, snow, sleet and rain; exposure to man-made elements and equipment, which may include, cables, platforms, buildings, event equipment, event tents, ladders and other structures, and may also include the use of equipment and/or power tools necessary for the activity; transportation during the event; close personal contact, lifting up to 50 pounds, and dependence on other participants and staff; incidents may result from the actions of other participants and staff; or the failure or improper use of equipment. These risks and hazards are inherent in the activities of the event and the environment in which it is conducted, and they cannot be eliminated without significantly changing the nature of the activities. I understand that these hazards and risks may result in loss or damage to personal property, emotional distress, illness, personal injuries, and, in extreme cases, even death. I represent that I have no known medical or emotional condition which may adversely affect my participation in this event, or which may cause me to be a danger to myself or others. I will communicate to Furniture Repair Bank staff any and all medical conditions or disabilities which I believe should be brought to the attention of FRB. I understand that it is my responsibility, and mine only, to determine my suitability, medical or otherwise, for participation in the event.
