I do not, however, accept responsibility for any injuries or damage to me and/or my child arising while participating in an activity at ISP which is caused by ISP’s recklessness or gross negligence, although I do accept responsibility for any harm arising from the physical condition of the netting, the storing of goals or the fact that the turf may not be 100% level as set forth in paragraph one (1).
4. represents that I, or my child, am qualified, in good health and in proper physical condition to participate in activity(ies) at ISP and hereby authorize any representative of ISP, or medical provider, to seek medical attention on my behalf, or on behalf of my child, to ensure my well being, or the well being of my child, without any legal liability whatsoever, inclusive of any responsibility for any negligent rescue operations.
