>From: "Jolie Smilowicz" <jolie_at_rockisland.com> > >> Whatever happened to personal responsibility? > Here in Holland people aren't as litigous. Most outdoor organizations require members to purchase sport specific insurance plans. For example, I belong to the national climbing organization and they required me to get climbing insurance. It was actually quite cheap. There has also been discussion about making rescue insurance madatory in some high risk climbing areas around the world. An interesting tidbit. Most people in Holland carry personal liability insurance. If I spill wine on your shirt in a bar, my insurance covers the cleaning bill. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
