DISCLOSURE, ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK,
WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION
Disclosure: The Pecho Coast Trail poses serious dangers to hikers, including, by way of example only and without limitation: steep cliffs, coastal bluffs, narrow trails, steep grades, crumbling earth, poison oak, rattle snakes and strenuous hiking conditions. Hikers are required to engage in sustained strenuous physical activity. Hikers can slip and fall and suffer serious bodily injury or death. There is a risk of my becoming seriously ill or injured in an area remote from medical care and Pacific Gas and Electric Company cannot guarantee the availability of emergency medical services or emergency transportation to medical facilities. Several hikers have suffered broken bones on past hikes.
California Civil Code section 846 provides that where an owner of property gives permission to another for entry or use for a recreational purpose the owner is not liable to that person for injuries the person may suffer because of dangerous conditions on the property. PG&E believes that this section protects it from any liability to any hiker.
Assumption of the Risk: I FULLY RECOGNIZE THE DANGERS OF PARTICIPATING IN THE HIKE AND I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MY PARTICIPATION.
Waiver: I HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT I MAY HAVE TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS, AND THE DOCENTS FOR ANY INJURY I MAY SUSTAIN WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE HIKE OR IN TRAVELING TO AND FROM THE SITE OF THE HIKE.
Indemnity: IF I AM SIGNING THIS FORM ON BEHALF OF A MINOR OR PERSON FOR WHOM I AM A GUARDIAN, I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS, AND THE DOCENTS FROM ANY LIABILITY TO THE HIKER INCURRED AS A RESULT THE HIKER’S PARTICIPATION IN THE HIKE OR TRAVELLING TO OR FROM THE SITE OF THE HIKE.
