FAQ
A participation waiver, or consent form, is a legally-binding document put in place to protect you and your organization. When the participant or their parent sign the document, they are stating that they fully acknowledge the risks involved, and therefore can not file frivolous lawsuits in case of damages or injury.
You can always refuse to sign a waiver. However, be prepared that if you do not sign a waiver, you may not be permitted to participate in the activity. Additionally, even if you are still permitted to participate, not signing a liability waiver does not necessarily make a business liable if you get injured.
