1. I acknowledge that Civil War reenacting, black powder shooting and related activities are hazardous activities. I am aware of the wide range of activities associated with battle reenactments, encampments, and Living History presentations (hereinafter simply referred to as the �reenactment�), and I have made a voluntary choice to participate in those activities despite the risks they may present. In consideration of my being permitted to participate in activities connected with the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum Reenactment, I agree to assume ANY AND ALL RISKS OF INJURY OR DEATH which may be associated with, or result from, my participation in the events and activities associated with it. INITIALS_____ _____
2. 2. I further RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE and COVENANT NOT TO SUE the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum (and any party having an interest in the Museum's property or the conducting of the Museum's activities, to include, but not be limited to, all governmental entities), Gold Coast Productions, the Richmond Howitzers and its members, their agents, employees, members, volunteers, and all reenactor participants in the event, (hereinafter, THE PARTIES) from all liability for myself, or any party claiming an interest through myself, whether caused by their negligence or for any other reason, while preparing for, practicing for, traveling to and from, or participating in this event. INITIALS_____ _____
3. I further INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE PARTIES and each of them from loss, liability, damage or claim they may incur due to my actions during the reenactment, whether caused by their negligence or otherwise. INITIALS__________
4. It is the intent of the undersigned that the above release be as broad and inclusive as is allowed by law. If any portion is found by a court of law to be invalid, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. This release is entered into solely for the benefit of THE PARTIES, their officers, trustees, agents, members and volunteers and others mentioned above when engaged in activities connected with the event, when engaged in activities which promote the participation in this event, or when engaged in the preparation for or travel to the event. It does not confer a release upon parties not acting in such a capacity. INITIALS__________
5. I understand that this release applies to all parties. I list the names of my minor children below on whose behalf I am empowered to sign this release. I hereby declare under the penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of California that the information and the birth dates of my children listed in this application are true and correct. I consent to whatever medical care might be provided or available for injury occurring during the reenactment for myself and my minor children. I authorize the employees and agents of the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum and Gold Coast Productions to contract for medical treatment for my minor children which may be required as a result of illness or injury which occurs during the participation in or while traveling to or from the reenactment if I am not available or present when the need arises. INITIALS__________
6. I am familiar with the safety standards used by the Fort Tejon Historical Association. These include, but are not limited to, that the minimum distance for shooting at another individual is 30 feet, the artillery safety zone is 75 feet, a rammer upright on the hub means that an artillery piece is loaded and is about to fire, and crossed rammers above the artillery piece means that the gun has misfired and no one should approach it. I am aware that safety is a paramount issue and that everyone should call a cease fire when an unsafe condition exists on the field. I will never draw my ramrod from a weapon on the field. INITIALS__________
7. I have read and understand this Release and all its terms and warrant that the above is true and correct in all respects and that no representations, statements, or inducements apart from the foregoing have been made. INITIALS__________
