14. WEATHER RELATED RISKS: Tents are temporary structures and are not inclement weather shelter and could possibly collapse during a severe rain, snow or windstorm. Evacuation of tents in high winds excess of 30 mph, heavy snows, or extreme lightning is recommended. You agree that in the event of a predicted or actual storm or excessive winds, we may dismantle any previously installed rented tents and related items to ensure the safety of all persons involved. You assume all weather-related risks involved in holding an outdoor tented event.

Accumulations of rain, snow and ice provide a danger to occupants and can result in possible tent collapse. It is the customer’s responsibility to remove accumulating snow, rain or ice from the surface of the canopy, or inform Leaping Lizards of these conditions.
16. CONCRETE/WATER WEIGHTS: It is recommended that tents are secured by staking into the ground. When staking is not possible and the customer elects to have the tent secured by concrete, water weights or other non-traditional anchors, the customer agrees that he/she is solely responsible for all damage and liability arising from the tent installation (if installed by LL) in winds above 30 miles an hour.

LL makes no warranty that the surface will be restored to its original condition.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: There are risks, both known and unknown, using any inflatable or amusement device, including, but not limited to physical injury, emotional injury, distress, paralysis and even death. The risk of serious injury from participating in LL-owned inflatable activities, although minimal, does exist, as it does in all play and amusement activities.
