In consideration of the services of The Metalshop Studio, its agents, owners, officers, volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on its behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Metalshop"), I hereby agree to release and discharge Metalshop, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows: 1. I acknowledge that both my in class and out of class related activities and use of any of Metalshop’s services or facilities entails significant risks, both known and unknown, which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to thirdparties. Such risks include, among others, equipment failure, flying particles, hot materials, power tools, exhaust fumes, as well as the negligence of instructors, other participants, third parties, and Metalshop. 2.
