Inherent Risks of Participating in Dragon Boating
There are risks and hazards inherent to Dragon Boating in any body of water including but not limited to a pool, facility, river or lake.  The same elements that contribute to the uniqueness and fun of dragon boating can cause loss or damage to equipment, injury, illness, or, in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death.
 
The Blue Dragons & Invictus Paddling Club (the “Club”) does not want to heighten or reduce your enthusiasm for the experience, but Club does want you to know in advance what to expect and to be informed of some of the possible risks.  The following list does not intend to be all-inclusive; exclusion of a risk or hazard does not negate its possibility:
• Injury or death while traveling to and from the activity sites.
