[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Ben Metcalfe Unfortunately in this sue happy society we live in designing a "sue proof" waiver is a virtual impossibility. Covering all the things that you are releasing from liability would easily take 3 pages of fine print, whether an adult can sign off for a minor child, bystanders along the rail line who have not signed off, willfull or even accidental negligence by the operator, etc., etc. A sad situation, but one that can't be overcome without a constitutional amendment which is never going to happen. [/quote] That reminds me of a story that I once heard....not sure if it's an urban myth or not. Something happened to the effect that the parents signed off a permission slip for their child - 17 years old or so, the child got hurt, but because the waver was signed the child couldn't sue the place where it happened, so the child went and sued it's parents because they signed off for the child. That was the big joke later in school when we would go on field trips. A child couldn't sign the concent form, yet it wasn't legally binding for the parent to sign FOR the child. Pretty crazy world out there.
