>From Stephen Bird's posting:- | >>Waivers are virtually useless. Win or lose a lawsuit can put a small | >>operator out of business. | | I wonder how many operators have or can afford liability insurance? I wonder what clubs in the US do about potential liability for personal injury. Our club here is currently going through a period of discussion about how best to avoid problems. My take is:- 1. Be careful. You will be, but things go wrong anyway, so... 2. Agree on an exemption clause in the club's constitution excluding liability, and ... 3. Carry suitable insurance, as exemption clauses are not reliable when litigation follows.
