Q. What are your policies
on safety?
|
A. We have maintained
an excellent record of safety over the last
31 years. However, any outdoor adventure
activity offers varying degrees of inherent
natural risk. Slippery rocks, sudden water
level changes, the individual's concentration
to the task, and various other factors contribute
to your rafting adventure. Therefore, Pocono
Whitewater Ltd. cannot assume responsibility
for property loss or personal liability.
If you question your physical abilities,
please consult your physician. You will be
asked to acknowledge your acceptance of these
conditions before your trip by signing a
waiver of liability form agreeing to participate
at your own risk. Click Here for a copy of
the Waiver.
