[Paddlewise] Waivers

Ahh Yes, the old waiver thing.

I use one. All participants  on my trips get the following;

I ____________ hereby acknowledge that John Winters, an incompetent paddler
with next to no rescue skills our knowledge of the outdoors has requested
my
presence on this trip to provide advice and safety to his person and
possessions. I acknowledge that I have forgotten more about paddling than
he will ever know and that he is too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with
directions on the heel and would not be going on this trip were it not for
me. 

If John Winters is obligated or feels obligated to rescue me or any of my
possessions and incurs any injury or loss in so doing I acknowledge and
accept full responsibility and agree to reimburse him, his heirs or assigns
for any damages real or imagined.. 

Signed __________________
