Learn more about Release of Liability
When you have a participant sign a Release of Liability, you have it in writing that the you won't be held liable if someone is injured. It also may grant you the temporary authority to seek medical treatment for patrons, including minors. Parents and guardians can also give consent for their children to participate in event activities without holding the organizers liable, which is especially important if the parents or guardians will not be accompanying their children in the activity.
Although the Release of Liability document is designed to limit the liability of the operator for an injury to the participant, it does not protect the operator from damages or injuries caused by the operator's negligence or willful acts. Having professional liability insurance is also recommended.
