2. Major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, cardiac events, serious illness, allergic reactions, and concussions;
3. Catastrophic injuries including paralysis, brain injury, and even death.

In consideration for being permitted to participate in these activities at UNC Charlotte, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless UNC Charlotte, its trustees, officers, employees and agents from any liability arising from or proximately caused by my participation in these activities. I further agree to accept and assume for myself, my assigns, executors, and heirs any and all such risks and losses that may occur.
