Rick: I am in the middle of thinking about this because of a liability / insurance discussion going on in my local club. I really think your club, and all others, should require and get into a pattern of taking all reasonable safety precautions, including PFD's on all club trips. Think about this possibility. A paddler on a club trip, not wearing a PFD, is injured and sues. You have a release form signed, but this does not stop the claim. Your insurer pays, then refuses further insurance. Your club is then refused further insurance by all other insurers. How will that affect the club's future?
