In consideration of the Uninsured United Parachute Technologies, LLC, doing business as UPT Vector, and ___________________________, hereinafter referred to as “Corporation”, allowing me the privilege of utilizing a dual-harness, dual container parachute pack assembly (also known as a “tandem parachute system”), designed, manufactured and/or assembled by the Uninsured United Parachute Technologies, LLC, d/b/a UPT Vector, for the purpose of performing an intentional parachute jump, I agree that:

I understand that the success of my jump is dependent upon the perfect functioning of the airplane from which I intend to jump and the parachute system, and that neither the airplane nor the parachute system can be guaranteed to function perfectly. I understand that the airplane and the parachute system are both subject to mechanical malfunctions as well as operator error. I freely, voluntarily and expressly choose to assume all risks inherent in parachute jumping, including, but not limited to, risks of equipment malfunction and/or failure to function, including those which may result from some defect in design, assembly, and/or manufacture as well as those risks arising from improper an/or negligent operation and/or use of the equipment, for and in consideration of the thrill of participation in this activity, understanding full well that those risks may include personal injury, property damage, and/or death.

(D) The owner of the dual-harness, dual-container parachute pack assembly, and any of its components, to which I will be attached during my intentional parachute jump;
(E) The operator (“parachutist in command”) of the dual-harness, dual-container parachute pack assembly to which I will be attached during my intentional parachute jump;
(F) If I am making my intentional parachute jump at or near a parachuting/skydiving facility, the owners and operators of that facility, as well as their officers, directors, agents, servants, employees, shareholders, and other representatives;
(G) The owners and lessees, if any, of land upon and from which the parachute jumping and related aircraft operations are conducted; and
