Release of Liability

I,_________________________________________, having registered for the annual IPMBA mountain bike competition, and being fully aware of the risks of injury and death, hereby save and hold harmless the International Police Mountain Bike Association, the City of Saint Louis, the Saint Louis Metro Police Dept., Washington University/WashU Police Dept. as well as their partnering agencies, agents, volunteers, or employees from any and all causes of action, suits, debts, damages, judgments, and demands whatsoever arising from my participation in this IPMBA Obstacle Course Competition. I further acknowledge that neither IPMBA, the City of Saint Louis, the Saint Louis Metro Police Dept., Washington University/WashU Police Dept., or their partnering agencies, volunteers or employees, will be held responsible for any injuries or death that may be caused by negligence of the persons or entities listed above during my participation in this competition.

I affirm that I am in good physical condition and do not suffer from any disabilities that would prevent, or limit, my participation in this competition. Furthermore, I freely and voluntarily assume any and all risks known or unknown to me that are inherent to being a participant in this competition. I acknowledge that I have read and understand the rules on the reverse of this page. I also grant permission to IPMBA to use any photos or videos of me taken in conjunction with this competition.

COURSE. There will not be a pre-ride of the course prior to the event. There will be a walk-through and

demonstration of the course upon arrival at the event site.

COMPETITORS ON COURSE. Only one competitor at

a time may start the course. Depending on the course length, more than one competitor may be allowed on the course; however, there shall not be more than two participants on the course at any one time. The

Competition Coordinator, the Starting Coordinator and the Safety Officer will jointly determine if the course can safely accommodate more than one rider at one time. Depending on course size and number of participants, starts will be spaced approximately 1-3 minutes apart. Competitors will not be allowed to start in a “head to head” fashion.

WALK-THROUGH. Upon completion of the

walk-through and demonstration, all riders must be within the staging area, ready to ride. Riders will be prompted to move to the starting line at their respective times. No rider will be allowed to ride the competition course if a liability waiver is not signed or if the Starting Coordinator, who will conduct a safety inspection, deems the rider to be in non-compliance with any equipment or safety requirements.

STARTING. No one other then the participant will be allowed in the starting chute at the time of the start. The start will be from a standing, power pedal position. There will be no rolling starts and no assisted starts. All starts will begin from a dead stop. Upon being called, riders will move to the starting line, be asked if they are ready, and then be told to “go”.

OBSTACLES. Each participant must negotiate all obstacles on bike or on foot, at the discretion of the rider. A rider may not circumnavigate an obstacle to enhance their final time. If a rider does not complete an obstacle cleanly, he/she will be required to go back and attempt the obstacle again. A participant need only make a second attempt to cleanly complete the obstacle before continuing on, whether or not they are successful on the second try.

FALLS. Falls, or damage to the bike as a result of a fall or operator error, are not grounds for re-ride. A judge may award a re-ride in the event of a flat tire or other

unforeseeable mechanical failure, if a spectator or another rider impeded the rider, or if the course is called “cold” due to some safety concern. Re-rides will take place at the end of the competition, after all riders have completed their runs.

FINISH. A rider’s time will end with his/her front tire crossing the finish line. A rider may carry his/her bike across the finish line to complete the course.

UNIFORMS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS.

As described previously, teams may be mixed, combining riders from all public safety cycling professions.

MINIMUM EQUIPMENT NEEDS.

Properly Maintained Mountain Bike: Riders are strongly encouraged to ride their department-issued mountain bikes, set up for patrol. However, riders who are not permitted to bring their duty equipment to the conference and/or who have rented bikes (if available) will be permitted to compete if the bike is equipped in a substantially similar manner to a typical duty bike. Bikes will be checked by the Starting Coordinator to ensure that they are properly equipped. The Starting Coordinator will also conduct a safety inspection of the bicycle and rider. Inferior bicycles will not be permitted. Any rider in any category who does not meet proper safety measures will not be allowed to ride. Because some departments allow knobby tires on patrol bikes due to local riding conditions, slicks, combination and knobby tires will be all accepted. However, it is strongly recommended that knobby tires not be used during the competition.

No changes permitted. You are encouraged to photocopy the PAR-Q but only if you use the entire form.

1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?

2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?

3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity? 4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?

5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?

6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart con-dition?

7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?

PLEASE NOTE: If your health changes so that you then answer YES to

any of the above questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.

Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO.

Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES.

• You may be able to do any activity you want — as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice.

• Find out which community programs are safe and helpful for you.

PAR-Q & YOU

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire - PAR-Q (revised 2002)

DELAY BECOMING MUCH MORE ACTIVE:

• if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever – wait until you feel better; or

• if you are or may be pregnant – talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active.

If

you

answered

If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can: • start becoming much more physically active – begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the

safest and easiest way to go.

• take part in a fitness appraisal – this is an excellent way to determine your basic fitness so that you can plan the best way for you to live actively. It is also highly recommended that you have your blood pressure evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active.

NOTE: If the PAR-Q is being given to a person before he or she participates in a physical activity program or a fitness appraisal, this section may be used for legal or administrative purposes.

Get Active Your Way, Every Day–For Life!

Scientists say accumulate 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy or improve your health. As you progress to moderate activities you can cut down to 30 minutes, 4 days a week. Add-up your activities in periods of at least 10 minutes each. Start slowly… and build up.

You Can Do It – Getting started is easier than you think Physical activity doesn t have to be very hard. Build physical activities into your daily routine.
