5. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS of participating in Trail, EVEN IF SUCH RISKS ARISE FROM THE INTENTIONAL OR NEGLIGENT CONDUCT OF THE RELEASEES (defined below) or others, and whether or not such risks are covered by my personal health or other types of insurance; and I assume full responsibility for my participation in Trail.
