DISCLAIMER
~ READ CAREFULLY ~
Even
if you do not join the Empire Skate Club, please be advised that Empire
strongly recommends that all participants in Club-sponsored events
(including its weekly group skates) should carry medical and liability
insurance and should wear protective gear (including but not limited
to a helmet, wrist guards, kneepads, elbow pads, and, at night, reflective
clothing and blinking lights which are required by NY State law).
Please also be advised that there are particular inherent risks of
injury involved in city inline skating, including, but not limited
to: cars, bicycles, other skaters, pedestrians, potholes, manhole
covers, chains, train and trolley tracks, cobblestones, bad pavement,
water, oil, debris, gravel, curbs, stairs, hills and inclines. This
list of possible risks is not comprehensive, because conditions on
the street, including the weather, are constantly changing. The Empire
Skate Club cannot accept any liability for the existence of any such
risks. Ultimately, each skater is responsible for staying alert to
potential risks and obeying all traffic regulations. Finally, the
Empire Skate Club strongly recommends that all participants in Club
sponsored-events (including the group skates) possess and master a
set of minimum skate skills before participating in its events: the
ability to skate in control, especially on hills; to stop in traffic;
to maneuver curbs; and to avoid obstacles.
