and its agents or from the unavailability of emergency medical care.
2. Assumption of Risk - I am participating in GT events and activities at my own free will. I understand that my decision

all of their affiliates, predecessors, successors, trustees, officers, directors, faculty, employees, agents and representatives,
past or present (hereinafter jointly referred to as “the Released Parties") from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments,
costs and expenses ("Claims") for any property damage, property loss or theft, personal injury or illness, death or other

and/or effect is to provide that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise which the person
giving the release does not know or suspect to exist at the time of executing the release.
This means, in part, that I am releasing unknown future claims.
