UREC Sport and Exercise Injury Policies
- James Madison University / University Recreation (UREC) does not provide health or injury protection insurance to participants in any UREC programs, services and facilities.
- The user/participant assumes the risks inherent in all sport, recreation and fitness programs and is solely responsible for the costs associated with the care and treatment of any injury sustained.
- Specific programs that meet the criteria of a high-risk activity where the potential gravity of harm may be high will require the signing of an informed consent stating that the participant understands the risks inherent in that sport or activity. These risks are assigned to parents of minors that are not JMU students, who either must be present or have signed an informed consent on the minor’s behalf.
