1. RELEASE FROM LIABILITY: In consideration of the acceptance of myself and or my dependent's application to be a participant in the Parks and Recreation program/class/trip (hereinafter referred to as "the program"), I hereby agree to assume all risks attendant upon myself and/or my dependent while participating in the program.  I hereby waive, release, and discharge any and all claims for damages for death, personal injury or property damage which I or my dependent may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me or my dependent, as a result of my or my dependent's participation in the program.  I agree to save and hold harmless from liability the City of Oceanside, all other city agencies and/or any of their agents, volunteers, or employees by reason of accident, death, injury or damages to persons or property, which my dependent or I may suffer while participating in the program.  This release is intended to discharge in advance the City of Oceanside, all other city agencies and/or any of their agents, volunteers or employees by reason of any accident, death, injury or damages to persons or property which I or my dependent may suffer, from and against any and all liability arising out of or connected in any way with my dependent's participation in the program, even though that liability may arise out of negligence or carelessness on the part of the persons or entities mentioned above.
