RHABDOMYOLYSIS
("RHABDO”)RELEASEANDWAIVER
I, in
consideration for continued access to the training facility
identified herein as CrossFit Compelled, do hereby
acknowledge the significant risks associated with the physical
training and programming at this facility. I acknowledge and attest to
having fully and carefully read and reviewed this "RELEASE AND
WAIVER” including all subparagraphs prior to engaging in any
physical activity at this facility.
Rhabdomyolysis (hereinafter referred to as "Rhabdo”) can
occur when an individual’s physical activity is so intense
that muscular cells begin to breakdown and the contents and/or
remaining materials enter the bloodstream. Rhabdo may be caused by
many other systemic or environmental causes. However, Exertional
Rhabdo can occur in athletes of all levels
of fitness, resulting in muscle cell destruction. The skeletal
muscle breakdown impairs kidney function as those organs are unable
to handle increased enzymes that are released into the bloodstream.
This induces severe physiological changes in the body. The symptoms
of Rhabdo include muscle pain, stiffness and extreme weakness,
darkening of the urine (similar to the color of tea or cola),
decreased urine output, altered mental status, swelling of the body
part involved, either with or without pain. A Rhabdo symptom is pain
out of proportion to the amount of soreness that one would generally
expect, often producing pain much quicker than one would expect
after a workout.
I
understand that any concerns on my part that I am experiencing any
of the symptoms of Rhabdo require immediate presentation to a hospital for emergency treatment. I
acknowledge that no third party, either from the facility or
otherwise, will be capable of monitoring my urine output or color,
and it is my responsibility to be continually cognizant of this
symptom and all other symptoms and to monitor them in my own body at
all times. I agree that I will remove myself from participation and
seek medical treatment of my own accord should I have any concerns
regarding possible symptoms of Rhabdo. I understand that
statistically individuals most likely to experience Rhabdo are those
who are in good shape by general standards or who were previously in
good physical shape. This includes individuals who were prior
athletes. I acknowledge that often the more mentally tough an
athlete is and the more athletic they were in the past or currently
are, the greater the risk of exposure to Rhabdo.
I agree
to monitor myself in a manner that is proportionate to the potential
injury that can be occasioned by this condition.
I acknowledge and understand that I am the only individual capable
of determining if I am experiencing Rhabdo symptoms. I hereby agree
and do willingly assume responsibility for any risks that I expose
myself to and accept full responsibility for any injury or death
that may result from participating in this significantly demanding
physical activity. I for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns,
personal representatives and/or next of kin, forever
WAIVE, RELEASE, DISCHARGE and COVENANT NOT TO SUE
and/or their officers, directors, representatives, partners,
officials, principals, agents or employees, subsidiaries, or
assigns, as well as their independent contractors.
I hereby acknowledge that I have witnessed that the above party
has fully read this document and has been given the opportunity to
ask any questions that he/she may have regarding its contents.
