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. Its purpose is to limit the liability of the Park to the Biker, including Bikers under the age of 18. The necessity of an acknowledgment before a notary public by parent is to protect against someone other than the parent or guardian signing on behalf of minor Biker.
The Florida Release of Liability, Personal Injury Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement with Regard to Mountain Biking in Park is a legal document that aims to protect the park management or owners from any liability, claims, or lawsuits arising from injuries or accidents that occurred during mountain biking activities within their premises. This agreement is signed by the participant or rider prior to engaging in mountain biking activities. The purpose of this document is to acknowledge and understand the risks and dangers associated with mountain biking, as it is an inherently dangerous and potentially risky activity. By signing this agreement, the participant acknowledges these risks and voluntarily assumes them. The agreement typically states that by participating in mountain biking, the individual agrees to release the park management or owners, as well as their employees, agents, or representatives from any liability for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death that may occur during the activity. This means that the participant waives their right to make any claims or file lawsuits against the park management or owners for injuries sustained while mountain biking. Furthermore, the agreement may include an indemnification clause, which requires the participant to reimburse the park management or owners for any costs incurred in the event that they are held liable for any injuries or damages caused by the participant's actions. This clause protects the park management or owners from financial loss due to legal expenses or settlements related to the participant's actions. It is worth noting that there may be different types of Florida Release of Liability, Personal Injury Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreements with regard to mountain biking in a park. These variations may depend on the specific park, its management, and any additional regulations or requirements set forth by the governing authorities. However, the core purpose of such agreements remains consistent — to minimize liability for the park management or owners and ensure that participants are aware of and accept the risks involved in mountain biking.
