Re: [RC] California Statute - Dabney Finch

Barbara wrote:

And so ride managers, by virtue of charging entry fees, are at risk if the ride is held on, or passes through, their property?
And ride managers are liable, even if the ride is held on someone else's property, government property, etc?
Do I understand this correctly?

Dabney responds:


All that means is that when RMs charge for riders to ride on their own land, they are not protected by this particular statute. However, other landowners are (unless they're charging). RMs are protected by the liability release we riders all sign (or should be!) when we enter the ride.

And these liability releases DO "hold up in court." They have been tested. They work. Do just be sure to use them, and I believe insurance is also available through AERC? (Belt and suspenders--a good idea.)

Kat wrote me about the CA statute:

It is my understanding that this protects landowners even if the parties
are not tresspassing, but also those who have been given permission, and
that it is only when the land owner charges money for the use of his
property where the statute no longer applies.

Have I misunderstood?


Dabney's response:


No, you understand the statute perfectly. Applies to "invitees" as well. Only exception is where landowner is charging money. Thank you for the clarification Kat!
