Risk
of Adventure:
Adventure travel has inherent risks of injury and/or death. These risks
contribute to the “adventure” and “challenge”
of our outings. The Associated Students, Inc. of SDSU, Campus Recreation,
Aztec Adventures and its employees assume no liability for any damages
arising from any of our outings. Some of our outings have prerequisites
of being able to swim and/or a suggested fitness level which the participant
is responsible for having. Any person participating on an Aztec Adventures
outing is personally responsible for his/her own safety.
Most of our
outings take place in remote areas where environmental conditions are
uncontrollable. Our leaders will try hard to make you aware of potential
hazards, both human and environmental; however, no one can be expected
to be aware of everything. Safety is an individual and group responsibility
because one person’s careless injury often results in more hardship
for the rest of the group (not just his/her own). Please, before signing
up, we strongly request that you carefully read and understand our Assumption
of Risk, Liability Waiver, Medical Disclosure Form (given at trip sign-up)
and Cancellation Policy.
Emergency
Care:
In the event of an accident, illness, injury or missing
trip member, the leaders of your outing will attempt to provide first
aid and arrange search and evacuation assistance when determined necessary.
Please note that our leaders may or may not be carrying communication
devices and that emergency help or evacuation may be difficult to arrange.
Costs of evacuation or search (helicopter, etc.) and of medical care beyond
first aid that is provided by the leaders are the financial responsibility
of the ill or injured person. Because medical aid in remote areas is costly,
medical and evacuation insurance is advised. We highly recommend purchasing short term travel insurance to protect yourself and protect your trip investment. Please check with your doctor if you have any health
problems that may interfere with participation and your insurance agent
to assure coverage for you and your equipment.
