1) I represent that I am in good health and HAVE HAD NO KNOWN EXPOSURE to Covid-19 and NO SYMPTOMS of Covid-19 for 14 days prior to attending the Dragonfly facility. Symptoms include but are not limited to: Cough, Shortness of Breath, Difficulty Breathing, Fever, Chills, Muscle Pain, Headache, Sore Throat, Loss of Taste or Smell. I acknowledge that if I believe I have had any exposure to Covid-19 or I experience any symptoms outlined previously, I will immediately cease attendance at the facility until I can again warrant that I have had no known exposure for the 14 days prior to attending and AGREE TO ALERT if I have been on the premises since my exposure.
2) I expressly promise to abide by the safety precautions posted on the Dragonfly premises.
3) I am aware that training during and after the Covid 19 pandemic involves certain inherent risks which can result in serious infection, personal injury or death. I fully understand , appreciate and agree that my participation may result in possible exposure to and illness from Covid-19. While protocols and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risks are not possible to fully mitigate. I hereby freely agree to assume and accept all known and unknown risks of exposure to Covid-19, even arising from negligence of the releases of other and assume full responsibility for my participation. I further recognize and acknowledge that the risks inherent in training can be greatly reduced by wearing a mask and washing/sanitizing hands frequently.
4) I understand that a carrier of Covid-19 may be asymptomatic and that there may be no way of knowing actual exposure by students, parents and staff of Dragonfly Aerial Company. I acknowledge that I could contract Covid-19 from an asymptomatic person, the Dragonfly facility or a contaminated surface and Knowing this I hereby clearly agree to assume the risks and liability involved.
5) I acknowledge that students are required to wear a mask while in the facility until further notice from staff. However, I understand that mask usage WILL NOT be enforced on a student who deems themselves in distress while on an apparatus. Safety is our first priority and therefore, risk of falling while fussing with a mask, having reduced visibility while executing skills or passing out from CO2 during a conditioning- is set at a higher priority than exposure to others by removing the mask. Students and guardians acknowledge and accept the liability of exposure from students that may not be wearing a mask during class while on an apparatus.
I agree to follow Dragonfly procedures for Covid-19 which include: Not coming to the studio if I am symptomatic or have knowingly been exposed, wearing a mask, sanitizing hands upon arriving and often, utilizing designated cubes for my belonging, reducing the amount of belongings brought into the studio, bringing in my own apparatus if possible and coughing or sneezing deeply into the elbow.

I, being 18 years of age or older, do for myself (and for/on behalf of my child participant, if said child is not of age or older) understand and assume responsibility for any and all risk of physical injury that may be a result of or related directly or indirectly from participating in aerial acrobatic instruction by any instructor associated with Dragonfly Aerial CO. I understand that this is a high risk activity and that instructors will do their best to provide a safe environment and safety centered instruction. However, I do hereby release, forever discharge and agree to hold harmless Dragonfly Aerial CO instructors and the Dragonfly Aerial Company, from any and all liability, claims or demands for personal injury, sickness or death, as well as property damages and expenses, of any nature whatsoever which may be incurred by the undersigned and/or the child participant that occur while said is participating in this acrobatics class.
