13. Acknowledgement of Risk Clients acknowledge that participation in adventurous activities entails some degree of risk of injury and death and that this will vary not just with the activity chosen but other conditions such as, but not limited to the weather. Clients must be aware, and accept, that accidents and injuries can happen and should take their own care to avoid these arising.
