It is our express intent that this release and hold harmless agreement shall bind the members of my family, estate, heirs, administrators, personal representatives or assigns. We understand and agree that the University’s insurance may not cover any injury or loss sustained during said Activity and that Releasees may not have medical personnel available at the location of the Activity. We understand and agree that Releasees are granted permission to authorize emergency medical treatment, if necessary, and that such action by Releasees shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. We understand and agree that Releasees assume no responsibility for any injury or damage, which might arise out of or in connection with such authorized emergency medical treatment. Any cost associated with emergency medical treatment will be the responsibility of the Participant.
