What is the PRM or Personal Responsibility Model?

KayakPower Adventures expects teams to train and has the skill set to complete any part or all parts together of the race. Participants must make every effort to mitigate risks by maintaining their personal gear to make the sport “safe.” The environments in which adventure events occur are inherently dangerous and have occurrences which cannot be partially, semi or completely mitigated by event staff, or participants.
