  • Definitions

  • In this agreement the term “heli-adventures/tours” shall include all activities, events or services provided, arranged or organized by the OPERATORS including, but not limited to; orientation and instruction sessions; surface or air transportation, including all helicopter travel; loading and unloading and travel in or movement around helicopters; all activities, events and services in any way connected with or related to these activities.

  • Assumption Of Risks

  • I am aware that heli-adventures/tours involves many risks, dangers and hazards. I acknowledge and accept that the OPERATORS and their staff may fail to predict whether the terrain is safe for heli-adventures/tours or whether an avalanche may occur. The terrain used for heli-adventures/tours may be uncontrolled, unmarked or not inspected and involves many risks, dangers and hazards in addition to that of avalanche. These include but are not limited to: travel over extreme mountainous or alpine terrain where fallen timber, branches, rocks, roots or other obstacles of hazards, steep slopes or unstable ground may cause falls; travel on, through or beside snowfields, glaciers, crevasses, streams, creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes; encounters with domestic animals including dogs, and wildlife, including bears and cougars; and miscellaneous health problems related to over-exposure to the sun, insect bites, fatigue, stress, dehydration, exertion, high altitude and lack of fitness. Additional risks are posed by helicopter travel in mountainous or alpine environment. Participants may become lost or separated from their guide or party. Communication in the alpine and backcountry terrain is difficult and in the event of an accident, rescue and medical treatment may not be immediately available. Alpine and backcountry weather conditions may be extreme and can change rapidly and without warning. I am also aware that a further risk, danger and hazard of heli-adventures/tours is negligence, inattention or inexperience of other members of my party, and NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE OPERATORS AND THE PROVINCE, INCLUDING THE FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE OPERATORS AND THE PROVINCE TO SAFEGUARD OR PROTECT ME FROM THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF HELI-ADVENTURES/TOURS REFERRED TO ABOVE. I am further aware that helicopter travel in mountainous terrain involves risks arising by reason of weather conditions, mechanical malfunction and pilot error.
    I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH HELI-ADVENTURES/TOURS AND TRAVEL BY HELICOPTER IN MOUNTAIN TERRAIN AND I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.
