2. I have read and understand the general safety instructions and the instructions provided for the safe use of ladders. I will inspect any ladder before I use it. If I have any doubt or question, I will seek assistance from a farm employee before using it. By using it, I accept it as free from defects and expressly assume all risk of injury, however caused, arising out if its use, including but not limited to injury from tipping or falling, caused by a condition of the ladder, caused by a condition of the soil on which it is placed, caused by how the ladder is positioned or placed, either by myself or others, or caused by act or conduct of mine while on or using the ladder. 

3. THE UNDERSIGNED UNDERSTANDS that this agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as the law of the State of California permits and that if any portion is invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall continue in full force and effect.
