Swim ability, medical disclosures and class-of-rapid language, signed before the shuttle leaves — and readable by your guide with zero signal.
Rafting has the hardest waiver logistics in the outdoor industry: a put-in with no coverage, a shuttle leaving on a schedule, and guests who often arrive in one big group having booked separately.
Waiver Hog handles all three. Guests sign at booking, your trip leader caches the manifest before leaving town, and anyone who turns up unsigned can complete the form on a shop tablet that works offline and syncs later.
This is a practical checklist, not legal advice. Have your final wording reviewed by an attorney or your insurer before you go live.
Guests self-report swimming confidence so your trip leader can seat weaker swimmers with the strongest guides.
Cache the signed list before you leave coverage and check guests onto rafts at the put-in with no signal.
Your class II family float and your class IV run need different risk language, driven by the booked trip.
One link for a college group or bachelor party, with individual signatures tracked against the departure.
Reschedule a trip for water levels and the signed waivers move with the guests to the new date.
Timestamped, IP-stamped signatures your insurer and legal counsel can rely on years later.
Guests sign at booking, and the shop tablet runs in offline kiosk mode for stragglers. Queued signatures upload automatically once the device is back in coverage.
Yes. Naming the specific section and class of rapids makes the assumption of risk concrete rather than generic, which is exactly what holds up under challenge.
It varies by section — often six or eight for class II and twelve to sixteen for class IV. Set the age gate per trip type and let the form enforce it.
It's strongly recommended. It changes raft assignment and guide placement, and it documents that the guest represented their own ability honestly.
