The hotel made us sign a waiver before we stepped on the bus. We had to sign a second waiver at the check-in after we arrived at the Tour Site.
Please read carefully, complete and then sign below.
- Has a doctor advised you not to participate in certain activities?
- Do you have any fears of the following: closed or open spaces; heights; and/or animals?
- Do you have any vision, hearing, or balance problems?
- Have you ever had an attack or stroke?
- Do you frequently suffer from motion sickness?
- Do you have a history of blackouts or fainting?
- Do you have motor skill impairments or difficulties?
I understand there are inherent risks in going on the tour, including but not limited to equipment failure, acts of other participants, adverse weather conditions, and forces of nature, and I hereby assume the risk.
“Dad, I can’t believe you’re doing this!”
Silence.
“Dad, you didn’t check off #2!”
Silence. I couldn’t look up at her. I looked down at the clipboard. It was shaking in my hands.
“X” marked the spot. My last rites.
