| The people who coordinate RICKA trips
are responsible for setting a meeting time and how to get to the put-in and
take-out. The trip coordinators are unpaid volunteers who are not
professionals. They are not and cannot be responsible for determining the
adequacy of your skill level, your personal safety, well-being, or
happiness. Trips are group events. You, and you alone, are responsible for
yourself

aspects of canoeing and kayaking involve the risk of serious
injury or death. The Rhode Island Canoe/Kayak Association (Rhode
Island Canoe Association, Inc.), although safety conscious, cannot
guarantee your personal safety in club activities. Each participant
is responsible for his or her own training in boating and rescue
techniques, equipment, and personal well-being when engaging in or
attending club-organized activities. |
