Safety

Every aspect of our operation is designed to put safety first but not all risks can be eliminated. Our aim is to manage risk to acceptable levels. Pedalmore, or the operator on the day has responsibility for all safety decisions. Your safety and enjoyment is our first priority.

5. I am mentally, physically and in all other respects fit and fully able to use the hydrobikes and have no special medical requirements or conditions except as described in the ‘medical questionnaire’ to participate in the activity. The release shall serve as a release and assumption of risk for myself and for my heirs, administrators and executors and for all members of my family, including any minor accompanying me.
6. I also agree that in the event of injury or illness, Pedalmore may provide evacuation, first aid and medical treatment at my expense and as such that I consent to evacuation, first aid and medical treatment; and,
