Participation and Risk Acknowledgement Statement

Climbing and Bouldering Risks

Please be aware that indoor climbing, even in a well-managed facility, is not risk-free. By climbing here, you acknowledge the following statement:

The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) states:

“Climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.”

The Association of British Climbing Walls adds:

“All climbing and bouldering activities carry a risk of serious injury or death. Even when all good practice is followed, accidents and injuries may still occur. It is the participant’s responsibility to adhere to the conditions of use.”

Participant Responsibilities

• The participant (or supervising parent/guardian) must read this document carefully, initial where indicated, and sign in the provided box.

• This Acknowledgement of Risk Form is for unsupervised climbing at Lost Projects – bouldering wall.

• If you are unsure about any part of this form, do not complete it online. Please visit reception to complete it with staff assistance, especially if you have any impairments that may affect your ability to fill in the form or climb safely.

bouldering wall Induction Video

• You must watch the bouldering wall Induction Video and ensure you understand the risks involved in indoor bouldering.

Risks & Rules

• Familiarise yourself with fire exits and assembly points.

• Indoor bouldering carries a risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for your own actions and must accept these risks.

• bouldering wall is an artificial environment, but the risks are as significant as outdoor climbing. Holds may spin or break.

• The soft matting does not guarantee safety—falls can still result in injury. Always try to climb down carefully.

• If you cannot climb down, use a controlled jump. Ensure you can land safely; avoid climbing into situations you cannot exit. Controlled jumps still carry risk, but uncontrolled falls are more dangerous.

• Only climb within your ability and assess risk each time you climb.

• Report to reception before climbing on each visit.

• Do not sit, stand, or climb under others.

• Do not climb over the top of the wall or touch the roofing structure.

• Store personal items in lockers or on shelves, not on mats, floors, or walkways.

• Water bottles are not allowed on mats.

• Remove jewellery, especially rings, and empty your pockets before bouldering.

• No running inside the building.

• Gymnastic or parkour-style moves are not permitted unless under professional instruction.

• Report any issues with the walls, equipment, or behaviour to staff immediately, especially broken or spinning holds.

• Be aware of other climbers and how your actions may affect them.

• Volumes and large holds are used throughout; falling onto them carries extra risk.

• Pregnant climbers must be aware that climbing increases risk to both mother and unborn child.

• Stand clear of climbing walls unless spotting a climber.
