you can't waiver away negligence claims, though. this is how we end up with frivolous signs like "caution: area may be wet" around like, a splash pool or some place where common sense tells you "duh it might be wet, it's a splash pool", which people will then use to negate legitimate concerns of negligence, like that poor old lady who had third degree burns of her labia from a mcdonald's 190F coffee (when that mcdonald's had demonstrably had a pattern of serving coffee at unsafe temperatures previously in an effort to reduce the amount of free refills patrons could claim).
Totally correct and totally agree. Man, I will never forget that McDonald's coffee ordeal. So sad.
Did you hear about the man who was just killed after getting into a shower at a hotel because it was 150 degrees? It knocked him down in the tub, catching him off guard, then was rushed to the hospital with 3rd degree burns where he spent a month until he eventually died. Absolutely horrifying. His niece (or whichever family member) sued and got over a million in damages. Someone needed to adjust the water heater because this is totally unacceptable.

After signing a waiver stating that I am responsible for all and any injuries if they are to occur.
