How to draft a waiver of liability?

I own an athletic footwear store where I sell running sneakers. A number of customers said they would love if we had a treadmill so that they could try out the sneakers before they buy. Is it possible to draft a form that the customer would sign before using the treadmill that would relieve us of any injury or risks?

It would be highly advisable for you to have a liability waiver drafted by an attorney.  This type of waiver is common in any business in which a customer could possibly be injured while doing some form of physical activity.  Contact an attorney to have the waiver drafted.
