This indemnification agreement shall not apply to any claims relating to IMG's active or passive negligence.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS: Physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent dangers and risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to prevent or minimize harm. IMG has facilities for various sport specific activities such as soccer, golf, tennis, baseball, lacrosse, football and basketball and related activities such as physical training, running, weight training, and swimming. Some of these activities involve endurance or strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements involving speed and change of direction, some involve contact with equipment, fixed objects (e.g. goal posts), other participants (including participants that are older or younger and who may be larger or smaller in terms of weight and height) and various surfaces types, and others involve sustained physical activity that places stress on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. The specific inherent risks vary from one activity to another, but in each activity there are inherent risks, dangers or conditions, both known and unknown, which are characteristic of, intrinsic to, or an integral part of the activity and which are not eliminated even if IMG acts with due care in a reasonably prudent manner. Those inherent risks may include, without limitation, (1) minor injuries such as cuts, sunburns, insect bites, bruises, muscle strains and sprains; (2) major injuries such as broken or fractured bones, concussions, or lost teeth; or (3) catastrophic injuries, such as heart attacks or fractured skull or those that cause disfigurement, loss of mental capacity, loss of sight, speech or hearing, paralysis, or death. Participant may be exposed, or expose others, to contagious and potentially harmful or deadly disease such as influenza, common cold, chicken pox, meningitis, or measles. Participant may also be exposed to risks while traveling (e.g., in vans when traveling to and from competitions, events, or the airport), exposure to risks inherent in recreational athletic, or entertainment activities operated by third parties in which Participant elects to engage (e.g., theme parks, fun zones, movies, concerts, boat rides, etc.), and exposure to risks related to receipt of treatment for any physical or mental condition.

Participant and Parent/Guardian have read the previous paragraphs and (1) understand the nature of the activities at IMG, (2) understand the demands of those activities relative to the physical condition and skill level of Participant, and (3) appreciate the types of inherent injuries, illnesses and other related risks which may occur as a result of such activities and/or treatment for any physical or mental condition that Participant may participate in at IMG. Participant and Parent/Guardian hereby agree and acknowledge that participation in the activity at IMG and use of their facilities and services is voluntary and that Participant and Parent/Guardian knowingly assume all inherent risks in such activities. This provision shall be interpreted as broadly as permitted by F.S.A. 744.301 or other applicable Florida law.
