I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe the conditions of the Demo Ride to be unsafe I will immediately discontinue any further participation in the Demo Ride and cease any other person’s participation in the Demo Ride.
-
Fully understand that the Demo Ride: (a) INVOLVES RISKS AND DANGERS OF SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERMANENT DISABILITY, PARALYSIS AND DEATH (the “Risks”); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Demo Ride, the conditions in which the Demo Ride takes place, the conditions or set up of the Demo Ride or demo bicycles or thru the NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, or INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT of Cicli Pinarello S.r.l., Pinarello US, Inc., or any of the Releasees (as are more fully defined in section 3, below); (c) there may be other risks or social and economic losses either known, not known or not readily foreseeable at this time, and I FULLY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL LOSSES, COST AND DAMAGES that I incur as a result of my participation in the Demo Ride.
