Do Firewalkers need to sign a waiver before walking?

We do ask everyone to sign a waiver, yes. More than anything, this is to get it absolutely clear in EVERYONES head exactly what they are doing.

The event is of course run by experts and professionals, and it is fully insured up to £10m. Rather surprisingly, the insurance company considers firewalking to be safer than most sports, such as five a side football.

The waiver is signed electronically during the seminar.

Here is the text of our waiver in advance, so you can review it. It may of course be different at the event so please do review it.
