Muscle strains, sprains, and tears
Fractures and dislocations
Head injuries and concussions

Participant knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly assumes all such risks, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, while on or about the Company’s premises or participating in any Company-related activity.
