I signed up for a 5k called the "Goose Poop Challenge" (had to have one of those shirts!) that takes place tomorrow. Like most 5ks, there is a waiver to sign, but this one takes the cake.
Rather than a couple of general sentences releasing them of all liability in case of injury to myself, or a short paragraph, this waiver is 1/2 page of small print.
Included are such warnings as: "I may be engaging in activities that involve the risk of serious personal injury, illness, permanent disability, dismemberment, and death...". The mention of risk of dismemberment (
) and death is repeated farther down.
I'm starting to wonder who designed the obstacles, a fan of Edgar Allan Poe? ("Watch out for the pendulum!").
