With all of the responsibility and authority that is given to the OOPS Trip
Leaders, I'd be very afraid of getting sued personally.

If the leader is able to kick someone off of a trip because they lack the
required skills, than if someone gets hurt, the trip leader could be legally
liable for saying this person was capable of doing a particular trip.

That's one of the reasons that our club doesn't use Trip Leaders.
