I acknowledge that I may suffer injury or illnesses or medical emergencies in remote places where there are no available medical facilities. I realize that personal property may be lost or damaged; the certain foreseeable and unforeseeable events can contribute to the unpredictability of the risk, dangers and hazards of the activity, that wearing a helmet may be a basic precaution; and that I should ask about potential risks, dangers and hazards and recommended precautions and procedures. I acknowledge and accept that wearing a U.S Coast Guard approved flotation device while in or upon any craft is basic safety precaution and is required. The Hualapai River Runners request that all passengers participating in the day trips wear the life jackets at all times.
