Prepared to Protect includes optional hands-on self-defense instruction and physical activities. While reasonable precautions will be taken to promote a safe training environment, participation in physical activity carries inherent risks, including the possibility of accidental injury.

Before participating, please carefully review the following Release and Assumption of Risk. By signing, you acknowledge that you understand the nature of the activities, voluntarily choose to participate, and agree to the terms stated below. Voluntary Participation

I understand that Prepared to Protect is a voluntary self-defense and personal-safety seminar that may include physical movement, defensive positioning, striking techniques, escape techniques, partner exercises, demonstrations, and other hands-on activities.

I understand that I may decline to participate in any exercise, stop participating at any time, or observe any portion of the class.

Assumption of Risk

I understand that physical self-defense training involves inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to, falls, collisions, contact with other participants or training equipment, muscle strains, sprains, bruises, soreness, and other accidental injuries.

I understand that Wyoming Bail Agency, the instructor, and the host facility cannot eliminate all risks associated with physical training.

Knowing these risks, I voluntarily choose to participate and assume the risks ordinarily associated with the activities in which I choose to participate.

Release and Waiver of Liability

In consideration for being permitted to participate in this free seminar, I voluntarily release, waive, and discharge Nobs Inc. dba Wyoming Bail Agency, the Wyoming Bail Agency Victims Advocacy Project, Damien Cortez, the host facility, and their respective owners, officers, employees, agents, instructors, and volunteers from claims arising from bodily injury, property damage, or other loss sustained as a result of my participation in the seminar, including claims resulting from the ordinary negligence of a released party, to the fullest extent permitted by Wyoming law.

This release does not waive claims that cannot lawfully be waived, including claims arising from willful or wanton misconduct.

Participant Responsibility

I understand that I am responsible for participating within my own abilities and limitations. I agree to stop participating in an activity if I experience pain, dizziness, unusual discomfort, or otherwise believe that continuing would be unsafe.

I understand that no self-defense technique, training program, instructor, or organization can guarantee my personal safety or the outcome of an actual encounter. The information and techniques presented during this seminar are provided for educational and personal-safety purposes.

Emergency Assistance

If I become injured or experience a medical emergency during the seminar, I authorize the instructor, Wyoming Bail Agency personnel, facility personnel, or others present to contact emergency medical services when reasonably believed necessary.

I understand that I remain responsible for any medical expenses resulting from treatment provided to me.
