Taking part in the research is voluntary, but if you choose to take part, you waive the right to legal redress for any research-related injuries is an example of exculpatory language.

Explanation:

The agreements that are made before any research that needs the participants to participate voluntarily are to make the participants knowledgeable about the risks involved in the research. Through such agreements, the risk is transferred to the participants by making them waive their right to ask for redressal in case of an injury or other loss.
