WAIVER OF ALL CLAIMS AND RELEASE OF LIABILITIES FOR RADIO CONTROL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT USING FIRST-PERSON VIEW EVENT

For and in consideration of permitting the undersigned individual to spectate, participate in any way, or officiate in aircraft modeling activities at this FPV Racing Event Ran By Tampa Bay Drone Club (TBDC) beginning on the first effective date of my membership to the expriation or termination of my active memebership. The Undersigned hereby voluntarily waives, releases, discharges and relinquishes any and all claims, actions or causes of action for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death occurring to him/her arising as a result of FPV Racing modeling activities and any activities incidental thereto wherever or however the same may occur and for whatever period said FPV Racing event may continue, and the Undersigned does, for him/herself, his/her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, release, discharge and relinquish any and all claims, actions or causes of action as just mentioned, which may hereafter arise for him/herself and for his/her estate, and agree that under no circumstances will he/she or his/her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns present any claim for personal injury, property damage or wrongful death against the Event Sponsor, Contest Director, any and all officials at the event, Tampa Bay Drone Club (TBDC), any and all clubs involved in this event, the site owners, and/or any other site owners involved or sites used in this event, Tampa Bay Drone Club, and/or their officers, agents, servants or employees for any and all said claims, actions, or causes of action, whether the same shall arise by negligence of any said persons, or otherwise.

         I recognize that safety equipment and/or safety netting used at FPV Racing events are not totally effective in preventing injury or death, even when used and positioned according to instructions and common sense. While some level of protection is provided by netting and/or safety equipment used at FPV Racing events, there still remains the risk of injury or death even when provided with net protection.

        I am also aware that modeling may present hazards to participants and/or spectators as a result of any number of factors including but not limited to, unpredictable deviations from flight plans, equipment malfunctions, and the uneven terrain over which modeling may occur.
