With these demands in mind, I have no physical or medical condition which, to my knowledge, would endanger myself or others if I participate in this Batfast Simulator, or would interfere with my ability to participate. I also agree to abide by any established rules or regulations while participating.
I understand that there are certain inherent risks involved in participating in Batfast Simulator. I acknowledge the fact that these risks exist, and I am willing to assume responsibility for any and all such risks while participating in Batfast Simulator.
I also agree to the following:
- Voluntarily assume all risks associated with my participation in these activities.
- I accept that Sixes Cricket LTD, Batfast Centres LTD and their personnel are not to be held responsible for any pre- existing medical condition(s) that I may have.

Sixes Cricket LTD and Batfast Cricket Centres LTD draw the attention of all participants to the fact that playing equipment such as Bats and balls, if handled or used incorrectly, could be a danger to adults and children.
It is the responsibility of the participants (parents or guardians) to ensure that children are supervised in such a way as to avoid the possibility of any accident or injury from this cause or any other.
When playing in the simulator the following additional items should be adhered to at all times, if applicable:
Follow all instructions provided by the member of staff in relation to health and safety matters, if applicable.
Never more than one player at a time in the playing area during game play.
No food or drink to be taken into the batting cage at any time.
No leaning on the batting cage at any time.
Ensure spectators stand away from the net for their safety.
No one under the age of 4 years should play the BatFast simulator.
If pregnant the recommendation is not to play the BatFast Simulator.
Do not play the simulator if injured.
People with epilepsy or other conditions sensitive to light or sound, back or neck injuries, high blood pressure and/or heart conditions do not play the BatFast Simulator.
No loose jewellery or phones to be worn whilst playing.
Appropriate footwear to be worn when playing the BatFast simulator. Flip-flops, sandals, open toed shoes and high heeled shoes are not classed as appropriate footwear.
The person in the playing area should always be facing the projection screen, have focus and awareness of where from and when the next ball will be delivered.
Select a sports bat/racket/stick that you can comfortably hold and swing without letting go. Ensure that the sports bat/racket/stick is fit for purpose before playing with it, check there are no sharp edges, cracks or similar that could cause damage to you or the surroundings.
Do not play the BatFast Simulator if heavily intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.
If at any point you feel unsafe or uneasy in the playing area, ask the closest person to the user interface to pause the game and step out of the playing area safely. If at any point you feel under immediate danger ask the closest person or personally press the emergency stop (red button) on the simulator and seek a member of staff for help before continuing.
During game play select the appropriate level to play against, if you have never or in a long time played the sport select Beginner level. If you are a professional athlete then select Club or International level to begin with. If you are unsure at what level to start at select Beginner level. On a ball by ball basis you can adjust the level of delivery you face against.
Please be aware that balls may collect in the lane during play, these may pose a danger to tripping / falling over, or deliveries may ricochet off balls on the floor causing unpredictable ball trajectories. To prevent any issues please push balls away from the batting area as well as the area where balls bounce.
Before playing each new type of sport on the BatFast simulator I will watch the brief introduction video that explains how to play the game (if it is available).
Do not approach the screen when the game is in play.
Do not hit targets with a bat.
