                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LIABILITY LIMITED; LIABILITY ACTIONS PROHIBITED (§ 3.2-6301)

A. Except as provided in &#xA7; 3.2-6302, an ox activity sponsor or an ox
professional shall not be liable for an injury to or death of a participant
engaged in an ox activity.

B. Except as provided in &#xA7; 3.2-6302, no participant or parent or guardian
of a participant who has knowingly executed a waiver of his rights to sue or
agrees to assume all risks specifically enumerated under this subsection may
maintain an action against or recover from an ox activity sponsor or an ox
professional for an injury to or the death of a participant engaged in an ox
activity. The waiver shall give notice to the participant of the risks inherent
in ox activities, including: (i) the propensity of an ox to behave in dangerous
ways that may result in injury to the participant; (ii) the inability to predict
an ox&#8217;s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or animals; and
(iii) hazards of surface or subsurface conditions. The waiver shall remain valid
unless expressly revoked by the participant or parent or guardian of a minor. In
the case of school-sponsored and college-sponsored classes and programs, waivers
executed by a participant or parent or guardian of a participant shall apply to
all ox activities in which the participant is involved in the next succeeding
12-month period unless earlier expressly revoked in writing.
