BAD KARMA AIRSOFT FIELD WAIVERS
The Bad Karma Airsoft Field is an "as is" field. It is on private property and is a NOT FOR PROFIT field. It exists merely for airsoft players to have the coolest place around to come and play. The field has NO INSURANCE on it and absolutely no implied level of safety is ever given to any player who comes out to play with us.
The field is a "common sense" field. Airsoft, like any sport or physical activity, carries with it an inherent risk of injury. If you want to come out and play with us, then first, YOU THE PLAYER (and your parents or legal guardians is you are under 18) MUST not only consent to that fact, but you also need to understand what it means if you fill out the waivers below and show up to use the field.
If you are on the field playing in an event and I do not have one of these waivers on file for you, then YOU ARE TRESSPASSING and are subject to arrest. If I have a waiver on file for you, then by participating in an event, YOU OR YOUR LEGAL GUARDIANS are accepting any and all risks that may arise during your time on the field.
The field is built by players, most of whom are NOT actively employed in the construction business. We make every effort to construct buildings and items on the field to a level of safety that we would let our own kids play on them, but NOTHING on the field has ever been inspected by a professional, licensed construction expert. You are using them at your own risk.
There is no insurance on the field. It is not a business nor is it "for profit". Again, it's just a place to come and play. The annual $25 field dues veterans pay goes towards the upkeep and new structures on the field. However, the upkeep that we perform should not be taken as any sort of gurantee of any level of safety while playing.
There has never been a serious accident on the field during a game and at many games, we do have trained medical personnel on hand, as well as several First Aid kits. The field is out in the country and there are indigenious life forms on the property. Players are advised to leave them alone. Players are also advised to wear a mouth guard if you are not wearing a full face mask. Chipped teeth can and do happen on play dates. THERE IS NO SMILING IN AIRSOFT!
Players on the field MUST wear some form of eye protection. ANSI rated Safety goggles are the MINIMUM level of protection we will let you play with. Full Face, sealing masks are recommended for new players until you get comfortable with the sport. SUN GLASSES ARE NOT ALLOWED so don't be an idiot and show up with them to play.
Again, the field is a "common sense" field. You can go anywhere, climb anything, jump out of anything you want to. But if you don't know how to exercise some common sense, this is nprobably not a field for you. No matter your age, AIRSOFT IS A BIG BOY SPORT and if you're gonna come out and play it, you are EXPECTED TO ACT LIKE ONE. Please read the waivers and medical forms below and make sure you understand and agree to them before you set foot on the field. This is a great sport and it's a shame we have to go through all this crap, but in this day and age, it's a fact of life.
In order to play at the field for any normal playdate, unless the playdate organizer is using their own waivers which you can find out about in their event description in the forums, the waiver and medical release form below is the waiver you will need to have signed (and by your legal guardians if you are not 18 or older). A single page version of this form is available in the forums here. In order to play at any game, you also need a medical release form like the one below. That waiver can also be downloaded in a single page form from the forums and is available here
If you are going to be playing at an event that DOES NOT USE NORMAL PLAYDATE FPS LIMITS, also known as a "high or no limit FPS game", then you will need the medical release above & THIS WAIVER instead of the normal playdate waiver.
Again, please check the Upcoming Events Forum to see if your event will have it's own waiver. If you are holding an event at the field, then you can use the waiver and medical release forms from here for your event.

Accordingly, should you have any questions pertaining to the nature and extent of those risks you should question the management of this field. Only after you have satisfied yourself as to the nature and extent of the risks involved as a participant in Airsoft should you sign this document.

Tresspassing charges may be added on top of this action as well.
1. The sport of Airsoft is an inherently dangerous activity. The game involves the use of high powered guns (air rifles) that fire plastic pellets at high velocities. Without adequate protection these pellets could break or penetrate the skin on impact. Should a pellet strike a person in the eyes, ears, nose or any vital area of the body that is not adequately protected, temporary or permanent injury, or in extreme circumstances, death, may occur.
2. Participants play the game on rough and hazardous terrain. This facility takes absolutely no responsibility for the safety of the field. If you play, you are assuming all risks involved and understand that the field is provided in “as is” condition. The risk of injury OR gross negligence on the part of the owner or other participant exists and there remains the risk that a participant could be injured as a result of the hazardous nature of the terrain, the structures, other participants or the nature of the game itself.
3. The sport of Airsoft involves rigorous and strenuous physical activity on the part of the participant. Accordingly, a person should not participate in the sport if he or she is not in good physical condition, or has any physical or mental illness or handicap which could be worsened by such participation or make the participant more vulnerable to physical injury or death.

By signing this form, you and every legal guardian that can claim you as a dependent or child are attesting to the fact that you are in sufficient medical and physical shape to play the sport on the Bad Karma field.
4. It shall be the responsibility of each participant to obey all rules and utilize all safety equipment at all times. Safety equipment is designed to minimize the risk of injury and/or death, but its proper use does not guarantee that such injury will not occur. This field does not employ the active use of referees or individuals whose duty it is to maintain an active, vigilant watch during play. There is no stated adult supervision on the field at any time. At no time while a participant is on the field is there any stated person other than the participant whose job it is to make sure that all safety rules and regulations are followed. This is the responsibility of the individual playing and absolutely no implications otherwise are being made contrary to that option. By signing this waiver, you and your guardians are stating that you fully understnad that the participant and ONLY THE PARTICIPANT is responsible for their safety while on this property.

Parents or legal guardians are not required to remain on site while their children are playingas long as the child is aged 14 years or older, but if they choose to leave, they knowingly give up the right of adult supervision of children on the premises. There is NO SPECIFIED ADULT SUPERVISION ON THE FIELD AT ANY TIME. This means that even though adults may be present during play, they are NOT there in any official monitoring capacity and cannot be held accountable in such a capacity.

Should a pellet strike a person in the eyes, ears, nose or any vital area of the body that is not adequately protected, temporary or permanent injury, or in extreme circumstances, death, may occur.
1a. Nashville Airsoft uses the Bad Karma field for their own private playdates. These playdates are in no way endorsed by any member of the Bad Karma team, nor the owner of the land, except for allowing them and their game participants to use the land and structures to play. Nashville Airsoft uses much different feet per second (fps) and bb weight limit rules than that normally encountered on the Bad Karma field and officially sanctioned Bad Karma events. There is the possibility of significant danger to a person's body and head area if struck by a high velocity, higher weight bb like those used on Nashville Airsoft playdates, especially if safety gear is not worn at the time of impact. By signing this Waiver/Release the undersigned (and, if applicable, his or her guardian(s)) acknowledges that he/she has read the foregoing disclosures of the additional risks and, further, agrees that he/she assumes all such risks and will hold the owners, operators, participants, and all of their agents and employees completely free and harmless from any and all damages from physical injuries and/or death which may result from the undersigned's participation whether outside or inside any of the fields facilities.
