This Thursday I am going to do something very exciting and kind of scary at the same time. I am going to get to play Paintball for the first time. While I am aware that there is some level of risk associated with being shot with a high-powered ball of paint, I wasn't quite prepared for what I read in the "Release/Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk. I found #2 to be particularly eye-opening:
"The Undersigned...is aware of the possibility of risks of injury, including, but not limited to, falling, tripping, being hurt by a wild animal, snake bite, heat stroke, heart attack, hypothermia, getting lost in the wilderness, being shot by hunters, insect bites & stings, poisonous plants, improper use or operation of equipment by the undersigned or any other player and others not following the safety rules. The possibility of permanent disability or death does exist."
Great! Where exactly do I sign my life away?
Ok-seriously, my brother, the lawyer, would tell me not to sign this sort of thing. But, I really am looking forward to the paintball experience! If you haven't heard from me in a couple days be aware that I may have suffered from hypothermia, I may be lost in the wilderness, or (my favorite) I may have been shot by hunters!
