Helmet Rental: I understand that a helmet designed for RECREATIONAL SNOW SPORTS use will help reduce the risk of some
types of injuries to my child at slower speeds and I have informed my child to wear a helmet when on the Arizona Snowbowl property. I

and that wearing a helmet does not guard against injury to the neck, spine or any other part of the body. I agree that is the helmet is
damaged or involved in any kind of accident, I have informed my child to notify an instructor of such and that my child should stop using it
immediately, return it to the shop and report the accident or damage.
