A release from liability injury form is a document business owners use to protect themselves. The form releases the owner or organization sponsoring the activity or event from being held responsible for any damages or injuries a participant may sustain during an activity sponsored or owned by them. Release from liability injury forms are typically used for those activities with inherent danger
. attached to them. Such activities include bungee jumping. Although safety precautions are strictly adhered to, there is still risk involved. Sky diving would be another activity which would include a release from liability injury form to protect the company sponsoring the jump or the airfield providing the flight from being held responsible in the case that something goes wrong, such as a parachute being not folded and stowed properly or not deploying. These two cases are extreme activities, though there are other less dangerous ones that still require release forms, including rock climbing and sports when sponsored by a school or organization.These release from liability injury forms are a good way for companies, organizations or individuals to protect themselves and "cover their backs" so to speak. Such forms are not only common, but a matter of course in this world and economy. Some nonprofit organizations or those with low operating budgets such as charities or schools cannot afford expenses related to injuries.There are various online sites which provide free release from liability and injury forms such as the website http://www.cfsa.org/selfinsure/genlib/release_waivers.htm, which provides a general waiver form.
