Equipment, if any, can break, fail or malfunction during use. 2. Participant realizes that injuries are a common and ordinary occurrence in outdoor recreation, and unanticipated risks that could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to him/her, to property, or to third parties.
