MEDICAL CONCERNS

Participants must be reasonably fit and should be able to walk unassisted upstairs. They may be required upon occasion to pull themselves along a stretch of cable if they should lose momentum before reaching any given landing platform (guides may assist with this process). The guided tour is designed for use by participants of at least average mobility and strength who are in reasonably good health. Obesity, high blood pressure, cardiac and coronary artery disease, pulmonary problems, arthritis, tendonitis, and other joint and muscular-skeletal problems as well as some psychological and psychiatric problems, may increase the risks of the experience and cause the Participant to be a danger to him/herself or others. If you are uncertain as to whether you are fit enough to participate, you should consult your doctor before doing so.

 

OTHER RISKS

Serious injuries are uncommon at The Campus, but the risk of injury certainly exists, by reason of falls, contact with other participants and fixed objects, moving about the grounds on which the activities are initiated and conducted, and otherwise.  Several risks are inherent to the activities. These are risks that cannot be eliminated without changing the essential nature and educational and other values of the activities. The emotional risks range from simple hurt feelings to panic and psychological trauma (fear of heights, for example). The physical risks range from small scrapes and bruises, to bites, stings, skin rashes, broken bones, sprains, neurological damage, and in extraordinary cases, even death. The property on which the tour is located includes uneven, rocky and wooded terrain, animal’s holes, and hold potentially harmful plants and animals, including snakes and other creatures which may bite or sting. Injuries may be a natural consequence of the activity undertaken, a consequence of structural design or failure, as a result of environmental hazards (including terrain and weather), a result of errors in judgment or other negligence of staff or participants or otherwise; and may occur despite the reasonable efforts of staff to prevent them. In all such cases, these inherent risks, and other risks which may not be inherent, MUST be accepted by those who choose to participate.
