I think the point is if something bad happens, and the "victim's" lawyer sues. Or, even if they're a nice person and don't try to sue, their insurance company might.... Protects the trip leaders and officers from the club from being sued, probably. As a trip leader and an officer of my club, I would be a target of being sued...even if I didn't do anything wrong and someone else in the club did...and so am in favor of waivers.
