This form is a model waiver and release for use of a Park regarding the use of the Park's mountain biking facilities or mountain biking at the Park.

A Nevada Release of Liability, Personal Injury Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement with regard to mountain biking in a park is a legal document that outlines the responsibilities and liabilities of both the park and the mountain biker participating in the activity. This agreement aims to protect the park from potential legal claims in case the mountain biker gets injured while engaging in mountain biking activities within the park premises. It ensures that the biker fully understands and accepts the risks associated with mountain biking, acknowledging that it is an inherently dangerous and adventurous activity. By signing this agreement, the mountain biker acknowledges and assumes complete responsibility for any risks, including but not limited to accidents, collisions, falls, equipment failures, and natural hazards such as rough terrain, steep descents, rocks, and trees. The biker also accepts the possibility of encountering other participants or park visitors, who may pose an additional risk. The agreement typically lists various types of potential injuries and damages that the mountain biker may encounter during mountain biking, such as fractures, sprains, dislocations, concussions, paralysis, or even death. It emphasizes that the park will not be held liable for any injuries, damages, or losses suffered by the biker, irrespective of whether they were caused by the park's negligence or other participants' actions. In addition to releasing the park from liability, the agreement may also include an indemnification clause. This clause states that the mountain biker will defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the park from any claims, expenses, or liabilities arising from their participation in mountain biking activities. Indemnification means that the biker agrees to compensate the park for any losses or damages incurred due to their actions. There may be variations of this agreement depending on the particular park and mountain biking context. Some variations may pertain specifically to downhill mountain biking, where the biker is required to have a certain skill level or experience to participate safely. Other variations may be tailored for bike parks, cross-country trails, or specific events or competitions. It is important to carefully review and understand the terms and conditions of any release of liability agreement before signing. If there are any doubts or concerns, seeking legal advice may be advisable, ensuring full comprehension of the risks involved and the legal implications of signing the agreement.
