Hot Tub & Sauna Rental Agreement

1. Description of Facilities

Wildcreek Glamping provides the following amenities for guest use during their reservation period:

• Wood-Fired Hot Tub: An outdoor cedar wood-fired hot tub located on the elevated deck of the property. The hot tub requires manual heating and temperature monitoring by the guest.

2. Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks & Dangers

Guest acknowledges and understands that the use of hot tub and sauna facilities involves significant inherent risks and dangers, including but not limited to:

• Drowning or near-drowning - Loss of consciousness, seizure, or incapacitation while in or near the hot tub can result in drowning or death.
• Hyperthermia (overheating) - Prolonged exposure to elevated water or air temperatures can cause the body's internal temperature to rise to dangerous levels, leading to heat stroke, organ failure, brain damage, or death.
• Cardiovascular events - Hot tub and sauna use can cause rapid changes in blood pressure and heart rate, potentially triggering heart attack, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac arrest.

• Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance - Excessive sweating in hot environments can lead to severe dehydration, fainting, seizures, or kidney failure.
• Respiratory distress - Steam, heat, and humidity may cause breathing difficulties, particularly for individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
• Infection and illness - Improperly maintained water or shared facilities may expose guests to bacterial infections, skin conditions, or waterborne illness.
• Allergic reactions - Exposure to chemicals used in water treatment, natural wood materials, or environmental allergens may trigger allergic reactions.
• Carbon monoxide exposure - Wood-fired heating elements may produce carbon monoxide gas if improperly ventilated.
• Interaction with alcohol or medications - Use of alcohol, prescription medications, or recreational substances in combination with hot tub or sauna use significantly increases the risk of drowning, overheating, loss of consciousness, and death.
• Wildlife encounters - The outdoor location of the facilities exposes guests to potential encounters with wildlife, including bears, insects, and other animals.
• Electrical hazards - Proximity of electrical equipment to water creates risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
• Weather-related hazards - Lightning, extreme cold, ice, snow, and wind may create additional dangers during outdoor hot tub and sauna use.
