Re: helmets, seatbelts, etc...



Why limit it to helmets and seatbelts? Why not adding poor eating habits -
if you are overweight and want to buy a chocolate bar. We can have an
implied consent for unprotected sex. I could probably fill up ridecamp with
a long list of things we do to ourselves that cost other people money. Some
might even think that the risks of being anywhere close to a horse warrants
the waiver form.

Actually there have been serious proposals that would limit the ability to
sue for injury if you weren't wearing your seatbelt. They got no serious
consideration.
