RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK  

This is a release. Please read it carefully and sign below. 

By joining Fly Fishing Team USA, Inc. I acknowledge that I will be participating in fly fishing and related events which are outdoor activities. If I am injured, die, or damage my belongings, I will not make a claim, sue, or expect Fly Fishing Team USA, Inc., and its owners, officers, operators, agents, employees, associates, and affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as Team USA) to be legally responsible or pay for any damages.  

I acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen to participate in activities with Team USA. I know and fully understand that fly fishing is an outdoor activity and involves dangers and hazards both known and unknown where accidents can occur, participants can die, sustain injuries, and property damage. These dangers, risks, and hazards include, but are not limited to, water hazards in boating, float tubing, and wading in lakes and rivers and include drowning, hiking in rugged country and injuries from fly fishing equipment, and other fishermen, insects and wildlife, inclement weather, and the lack of immediate medical attention in the event of injury.  

My participation in this activity is purely voluntary and I elect to do so at my own risk in spite of the risks and hazards. In consideration for Team USA allowing me to participate in fly fishing activities, I voluntarily agree to release, discharge, covenant not to sue, and hold harmless Team USA from all and any claims, demands, and lawsuits of liability for illness, disease, injury, death, loss and property damage which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity, including but not limited to their negligence, recklessness, strict liability, breach of contract, or any other act or omission by them. In signing this release document, I fully recognize and understand that if I (or any minors on whose behalf I am signing this release) am/are hurt, die, or my property is damaged, I am giving up my right to make a claim or file a lawsuit against Team USA even if they negligently or by some other act or omission cause the injury or damage.  

As a parent or legal guardian of a participant under 18 years of age, I have read and voluntary agree that said minor may participate in this fly fishing trip, and I sign this release on their behalf. Also, I give Team USA permission to treat said minor in case of illness, injury, or accident.   

Should emergency medical services become necessary to the undersigned or any minor, the expenses are the sole responsibility of the participant and not that of Team USA. Further, I agree on my behalf (or any minor on whose behalf I am signing this release) that I will not hold Team USA liable regarding the provision of medical and/or emergency care or the adequacy of any such care that may be rendered.
