Safety and Insurance Information

NSSRA is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds participants ' safety in the highest possible regard . Participants and parents registering for recreation programs must recognize , however , that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities . NSSRA continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that participants follow all safety rules and instructions designed to protect the participants ' safety .
Please recognize that NSSRA does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs . The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive . Therefore , each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program / activity should review their own insurance coverage . It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make NSSRA automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses .
Due to the difficulty and exorbitant cost of obtaining liability insurance , the agency providing liability coverage for NSSRA requires the execution of a Waiver and Release . Certain high-risk activities may require an additional waiver prior to participation . This waiver must be signed before participation in a program . See NSSRA ’ s High-Risk Waiver Policy on page 56 for more information .
