We, the undersigned, hereby request that the below named minor be granted permission to participate as a contestant, assistant, or otherwise in IFCA events.
In consideration of "permissive entry" to minor into the restricted area, which is the area from which admission to the general public is restricted, which includes, but is not limited to the rodeo arena, competition area, chutes, pens, adjacent walkways, and other appurtenances, we, the undersigned, on behalf of the minor and for ourselves, our personal representatives, heirs, next of kin, spouses and assigns, do hereby:
1. RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND CONVENANT NOT TO SUE the IFCA committee, stock contractor, sponsors, arena operators or owners, and each of them, their officers, agents and employees (all hereinafter collectively referred to as "releases") from any and all claims and liability arising out of strict liability or ordinary negligence of releases or any other participant which causes the undersigned injury, death, damages or property damage. We, the undersigned, jointly, severally, and in common, covenant to hold releases harmless and to indemnify releases from any claim, judgment or expenses may incur arising out of any of the minor's activities or presence in the restricted area.
2. UNDERSTAND that minor's entry onto the restricted area and/or participation in IFCA events contains INHERENT DANGER AND RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH, that conditions of the rodeo/roping arena change from time to time and may become more hazardous, that rodeo/roping animals are dangerous and unpredictable, and that there is INHERENT DANGER in rodeo/roping which we each appreciate and voluntarily assume because the minor and we choose to do so. Each of the undersigned has observed events of the type that the minor seeks to participate in. We further understand that the arena surface, access ways or lack thereof, lighting or lack thereof, and weather conditions all change and pose a danger to the minor. We further understand that other contestants and participants pose a danger to the minor, but nevertheless, WE EACH VOLUNTARILY ELECT TO ACCEPT ALL RISKS connected with the minor's entry into the restricted area and/or participation in any IFCA events.
3. AGREE that this agreement shall apply to any incident, injury, accident or death occurring on the above date and FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR THERAFTER or until the minor's association membership expires, whichever shall last occur. All subsequent agreements and release documents signed by any of the undersigned shall amplify, but shall in no way limit the provisions of this document. The provisions of this document may be cancelled by any one the undersigned by delivering to the IFCA association written cancellation of this agreement which shall be effective 24 hours after the date said cancellation is actually received by the IFCA association.
4. Releaser or parent(s) or guardian(s) of the undersigned minor AGREE TO INDEMIFY the Releases and each of them from any loss, liability, damage or costs they may incur due to the presence or participation of the minor in the described activities whether caused by the negligence of the Releases or otherwise.
