I am aware and understand that any trip offered by SBA has, in addition to the usual dangers and risks, certain additional dangers and risks some of which include, without limitation:

1) Steep and slippery terrain - where a fall, may cause injury or death. In addition, the terrain may have many dangerous obstacles and hazards, which may be at times, be difficult to negotiate. Some of these obstacles and hazards include ladders, bridges, steep trails, rocks, creeks and rivers.

2) Rough and dangerous water - where a kayak or vessel can capsize causing injury or death. The ocean may become very rough and dangerous without warning, which could lead to a kayak or vessel capsizing. In addition, clients may have to negotiate rough surf in order to reach the shore. At times clients may also have to negotiate rough water caused by other marine craft.

3) Wild Animals - which are unpredictable in nature, may attack clients causing injury or death.

4) Exposure to the natural elements - which can be uncomfortable and/or harmful and in some cases could lead to death. Sunburn, dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, cramps and hypothermia are some conditions that may occur from exposure. Weather conditions such as wind, rain and lightning may be extreme and can change rapidly without warning and cause injury or death.

5) Transportation - where an accident can cause injury or death. Transportation includes but not limited to: land vehicles, watercrafts such as ferries and boat shuttles, as well as other forms of transportation including aircraft. All these forms of transportation have elements that are unpredictable and can lead to an accident.

6) The operator and other trip participants - where the conduct and negligence of other clients, SBA and its staff might cause injury or death. This includes following instructions of guides whose advice and direction might differ from practices elsewhere.

7) Food and water poisoning - which can cause injury or death.

I accept all the dangers and risks of this SBA trip and I accept the possibility of injury, death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom including negligence.

I certify that I am fully capable of participating in this SBA trip, and that I am in good physical condition and health.

I understand and agree to pay the costs of any evacuation undertaken on my behalf. I also understand and agree to pay the costs of any search and rescue or evacuation undertaken on my behalf. I agree in advance to pay any and all such costs should I be held responsible for these costs. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless SBA and its staff for any costs that they may be charged for any evacuation or search and rescue undertaken on my behalf.

I hereby give permission for the transportation to any medical facility or hospital and I authorize for any qualified guide or medical personnel to render necessary emergency medical care for myself.
