What is a axe throwing waiver?

Axe throwing venues mix sharp tools, groups of friends and, often, a bar. Most injuries come from bounce-backs, someone walking forward to collect while another person throws, or a thrower who has had one too many. Lane rules, a footwear rule and a clear alcohol policy prevent most of them; a waiver records that every thrower heard them.

This template covers axes and hatchets, with options for throwing knives and other implements. It requires the safety briefing, sets out the lane rules (one thrower per target, no throwing with anyone past the line, never catch a bounce-back, carry blades down), requires closed-toe shoes, and states your alcohol policy: a limit set by staff, or none at all. It explains the real risks, lets staff stop anyone unsafe, records a minimum age with a parent signing for younger throwers if you allow them, and releases the venue to the extent the law allows. The thrower confirms they're sober as they sign.

Using the axe throwing waiver, step by step

1 Set your rules

Your venue name fills in. Choose what is thrown, the alcohol policy, the minimum age and whether the waiver lasts a visit or 12 months.

2 Share before arrival

Put the link in booking confirmations so every thrower in the group signs on their own phone.

3 Throwers sign

Each thrower adds an emergency contact and any health notes, initials each page and signs.

4 Check in at the lane

Countersign, and look up any waiver in your FileIt vault by name when the group arrives.

Tips before you send it

  • Ask each adult in a group to sign their own waiver rather than one person signing for everyone.
  • Check your liquor licence and local rules on serving alcohol where throwing takes place.
  • Inspect axes and targets daily. Dull blades and worn boards make bounce-backs more likely.
  • Ask your insurer whether it requires particular wording or a minimum age.

Axe throwing waiver: frequently asked questions

Can we serve alcohol?

Yes, if you choose that option. The form says staff set the limit and may stop anyone throwing. Your licence or local law may add rules.

Can under-18s throw?

Set the minimum age. If you allow younger throwers, a parent signs, names the thrower and agrees to stay and watch.

Does it cover throwing knives?

Yes. Choose the option that includes knives or other implements.

Is the waiver valid for a whole league season?

Choose 12 months and it covers every visit in that time.
