In consideration of being permitted to participate in any way in rodeo-related events and related
activities, I, the above contestant (or the contestant's parent or legal guardian if the contestant is
a minor), acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:
The risk of injury to myself and/or the contestant from the activities involved in rodeo events is
significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular rules,
equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist.
I/We KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, EVEN IF ARISING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES or others, and assume full responsibility for the contestant's participation.
I/We willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation.
If, however, I/We observe any unusual significant hazard during my/the contestant's presence or
participation, I/We will remove the contestant from participation and bring such to the attention of
the nearest official immediately.
I/We, for myself/ourselves and on behalf of the contestant, and anyone entitled to act on the
contestant's behalf, HEREBY RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS Southeast Little Britches Rodeo Assocation, Inc.
(SELBRA), their officers, officials, agents, and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies,
sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event
("RELEASEES"), WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, or loss or damage to person or
property, WHETHER ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE, to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
I/We further understand and agree that SELBRA does not carry or maintain accident/health insurance
coverage for the contestant, nor is it responsible to carry or maintain such insurance, and that it is
my/our own responsibility to carry such insurance for myself/the contestant.
I/We certify that the contestant is physically fit, has sufficiently prepared or trained for
participation in the event, and has not been advised otherwise by a qualified medical professional. I/We
acknowledge that this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form will be used by the event holders,
sponsors, and agencies involved with this event, and that it will govern my/the contestant's actions and
responsibilities at said event, and that it shall serve as a release and waiver for myself, the
contestant, my/the contestant's heirs, executors, administrators, assignees, successors and for all
members of the contestant's family, including any minors accompanying the contestant.
In the event that I, or anyone on my behalf, makes a claim of liability against any of the RELEASEES
above, I/We, the contestant's parent/guardian, HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS each
of the RELEASEES from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or costs any
RELEASEE may incur as a result of such claim.
I/We understand this liability release and waiver of claims extends to all activities related to the
rodeo event, including, but not limited to, travel to and from the premises, and the time spent on the
premises before, during, and after the event.
I/We have read this Accident Waiver and Release of Liability Form, fully understand its terms, and
understand that I am/We are giving up substantial rights, including the right to sue. I/We acknowledge
that I am/We are signing this form freely and voluntarily, and intend by my/our signature(s) to be a
complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law, and agree
that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance, notwithstanding, shall
continue in full force and effect. I/We understand I/we may be liable for any injury, death to my
myself, others, or property as a result of my/the contestant's negligence while participating in this
event.
