There are many risks and dangers associated with boating and activities around and in the water. There are risks of collisions, falls, injuries to spine, arms and legs, pinching, drowning, and death that can arise from the negligence of others, your own negligence, weather conditions, acts of God, water conditions and your own experience and abilities.

For your own safety and the safety of your friends and family who may be participating in your rental activity it is important that you understand the risks and explain and manage them to every member of your party.
