  I led boundary waters canaoe trips with college students.  My university
demanded a waiver of liability from the students--a waiver listing
EVERYTHING that could possibly go wrong on the trip.  It never occurred to
me to list having a fingernail clipping fly up into a student's eye.

I am doing a presentation for our local paddling club on trip
organization.  I would like to do a section on risk assessment - but 
can't find too much material on it.  I would like to set up a 
chart or matrix to make it easier for beginner paddlers to understand.  

Has anybody done something like this in their local clubs?  Or know any
net references that I can follow up on?
