2. Voluntary Participation
I am participating in the Challenge entirely of my own free will. No one has required, pressured, coerced, or induced me to participate. I understand I may stop at any time, for any reason, without penalty, and that stopping is always the safest choice.
3. Assumption of Risk
I understand that competitive and rapid consumption of large quantities of food is inherently and unavoidably dangerous and that these risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken by anyone. Risks include choking, aspiration, airway obstruction, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, dehydration, gastrointestinal injury, cardiac events, stroke, blood sugar events, allergic or anaphylactic reactions, foodborne illness, aggravation of medical conditions, slips, falls, burns, delayed onset of symptoms, emotional distress, serious injury, permanent disability, and death.
I knowingly, freely, and voluntarily assume all such risks, both known and unknown, whether or not caused by the negligence of any Released Party, and accept full and sole responsibility for any injury, illness, loss, cost, or damage I suffer.
4. Health Representations and Warranties
I represent and warrant that I am 18 years of age or older, in good health, physically fit to attempt the Challenge, not pregnant or breastfeeding, not affected by listed medical conditions, not taking medication that would make participation unsafe, not under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or impairing substances, and that I have reviewed ingredients to the extent I have allergies or dietary restrictions. I understand the kitchen is not allergen-free and cross-contact is possible.
5. No Duty to Monitor, Supervise, or Render Aid
I understand staff are food service workers, not medical professionals, and have no duty to monitor my health, assess my condition, diagnose anything, or intervene. I am solely responsible for monitoring my own condition and for stopping.
6. Rules, Conduct, and Right to Terminate
I agree to follow all posted rules and staff instructions. The Released Parties may stop my participation at any time. I will not share, transfer, conceal, discard, or remove food except as posted rules allow. I will not induce vomiting on the premises, and I will not smoke or vape during the Challenge.
