RISK MANAGEMENT <br /> Although numerous risks can be identified for the development of a Skate <br /> Board Park, they usually can be categorized into two basic areas: <br /> 1. The exposure presented by youth using a skateboard ramp. <br /> 2. The uncontrolled nature of the participants. <br /> Accordingly, to reduce the risk exposure insurance underwriters have <br /> offered the following guidelines: <br /> * The facility will be fenced, thereby controlling accessibility. <br /> * The Skate Park will be supervised by an adult. <br /> * Competitive activities will not be allowed. <br /> * Ramps will be structurally sound and meet all applicable codes. <br /> * A formal documented maintenance program will be established and followed. <br /> * All entrants (or, if a minor, their parents) will be required to sign a waiver of <br /> liability/hold harmless agreement in favor of the Park and City of Burnsville. <br /> This will be prepared by legal counsel. <br /> * All participants will be required to wear appropriate safety equipment such as <br /> helmets, hand, elbow and knee pads and appropriate footwear. <br /> * All equipment will be inspected prior to entrance into the park. <br /> * Signs will be posted to address park rules and regulations. <br /> When followed, the above guidelines will greatly reduce the Skate Park's <br /> risk and corresponding exposure. <br /> Burnsville Skate Park Proposal Page 5 <br />
