I relinquish the right to sue in the case of injury or death due to an honest mistake or outright negligence by the Parties or their employees. The risks include, among other things: slips, fall, head injuries, being struck by equipment, struck by other participants, forces of nature including extremes of weather, lightning, rapid weather changes, exposure to sun, heat stroke, strong wind, cold, the risk of collision with objects or watercraft, the risk of entrapment within the Aqua Park, drowning, the risk of exposure to insect bites, injury or illness in areas of St Andrews Aqua Park, risk of injury, arm, shoulder and or back injuries, my own physical condition, accidental drowning and the physical exertion associated with these activities. Furthermore, the employees of St Andrews Aqua Park have difficult jobs to perform; they seek safety but are not infallible. They are unaware of a participant’s fitness or abilities. They might misjudge the weather or other environment conditions. They may give incomplete warnings or instructions and the equipment being used may malfunction.

I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining document shall remain in full force and effect. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation of the activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the Parties.
