Been there done that. The one consistent aspect of this discussion and all similar discussions is that it involves groups. Want to avoid liability? Paddle solo. I used to, quit for a while while serving on various paddling club Boards of directors, and now paddle alone again. For a while I signed a waiver for those who went on trips I organized. It promised that should I be injured while trying to rescue their sorry butts neither I nor my family would sue them or their families. I told them they need not sign any waivers for me because if I had any inkling that they might sure I would make sure they didn't get home. :-) Strange, not many people went on my trips :-) Cheers John Winters *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
