There are many inherent risks in adventure travel of the type involved here, which can lead to illness, injury, or even death.

You further agree to indemnify and hold VT&LL harmless with respect to any claim made against VT&LL by anyone else which (a) related to your participation, or (b) which would be subject to the above release and covenant not to sue if you had made the claim directly yourself.
