Furthermore, I am aware:

· That I may come into close contact with other participants, including the possibility of accidental and unexpected touching;

· That I may experience anxiety while challenging myself during the activities;

· That my risk of injury is reduced if I follow all rules adopted during training and competition; and

· That my risk of injury increases as I become fatigued.
