inherent
in this activity (including, without limitation, failure of equipment, loss of control,
collisions, sinking, constant travel in or through oceans, mountains, lakes, rivers,
creeks,
trees, rocks, adverse weather, low temperatures, and other man-made or natural
obstacles), certain additional dangers and risks, including but not limited to:

forces,

The danger of all of the above includes the risk of prediction, failure of
general
safety and rescue equipment techniques and any negligence in the
training or
use thereof.

state

altitudes
and rarified atmospheres also increase the effects of sunlight, ram, snow,

negligence by the Operator and/or other guests; this includes all activities
under
the guides supervision, whose advice and direction may differ from

geographical difficulties or equipment failure.

situation
of point (viii), or in case of early departure. This includes additional rescue
equipment,
transportation systems and services, other than the ones normally supplied by the

MNV Atmosphere in custody so he may put them away into the general safety box
of the vessel, prior to the issue of the proper reception document with express
declaration of its valuation.
