I HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES ON MY ACCOUNT WHETHER TO MY PERSON OR PROPERTY, CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO BE CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THE ACTIVITIES OR THE PREMISES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENT RESCUE OPERATIONS. I FURTHER AGREE THAT IF DESPITE THIS AGREEMENT I, OR ANYONE ON MY BEHALF, MAKES A CLAIM AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, I WILL INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH OF THE RELEASEES AND THEIR INSURANCE CARRIERS FROM ANY LITIGATION EXPENSES, FEES INCLUDING COURT AND ATTORNEY, LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, OR COST WHICH RELEASED PARTIES MAY INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH CLAIM.
