|   Mountain Biking Disclaimer | J.D.
Nov 7, 2002 10:42 PM | | I understand that mountain biking is inherently dangerous with significant risk of serious injury and death. These dangers and risks include, but are not limited to, falls and collisions resulting from and due to, variations in pitch and terrain and/or obstacles and hazards such as ditches, bridges, culverts, bumps, stumps, rocks, logs, forest growth and debris and other forms of natural and manmade conditions, obstacles or hazards on and/or off designated trails, as well as collisions with equipment, other cyclists, walkers and runners, including collisions or falls caused by the inexperience or negligence of others. I acknowledge that trail conditions vary constantly as a result of weather. I further understand that if I desire to do so, I can pre-inspect any course or trail, prior to my use of the same.
JD any questions? |

| If you think that's dangerous..... | Rollingbones
Nov 8, 2002 6:26 AM | | ...Try riding a road bike in the street....cars, trees, vans, ditches, trucks, sewer grates, semi's, bumps, cars, rocks..and oh yeah...lots of stupid drivers!!!! Sort of makes mountain biking sound safe by comparision..doesn't it??? (been there...done that...didn't get a tee shirt).
Dirtclaimer!!!! |
| That sounds like... | TwoWheelinTim
Nov 8, 2002 9:46 AM | | My commute. Today was especially bad. The wind last night blew down many tree limbs. That and all the mommys and daddys who didn't want their precious children's feetsies to get moist had to drive said little ones to school. I think the drivers here are prone to testing tire manufacturers traction claims at the first hint of rain. It seemed like everybody actally sped up today instead of slowed down as a reasonable and prudent driver would do. Of course for many people, once they are behind the wheel, reason and prudence are not held in the same regard as in normal life. Which brings me to my next question... |
| What about this: | Biking Viking
Nov 8, 2002 10:45 AM | | I'm an adult. I am responsible for my own actions. If I hurt myself riding a bike, it's my fault because it was my choice to ride, and as an adult I should be sufficiently developed in my very upper extremity to understand the risks I take. If I despite these acknowlegements, still try to blame someone else for my own screw ups, I agree to be deported to a foreign country of my choice, and not return until I have learned accountability for my own choices and actions.

| Very good point | Spiff
Nov 8, 2002 11:15 AM | | Although I believe the money issue weights a lot too. i.e. "I'm an adult responsible for my own actions but what the heck, that's my chance to rip that big company and get some easy money" (sometimes not so easy but you get my point)

| Yeah - the two version of the American Dream | Biking Viking
Nov 8, 2002 11:26 AM | | 1. Start a company in your garage and become successful
2. Find a company which is already succesful and sue the heck out of it.

| Version 3... | fourarm
Nov 8, 2002 11:59 AM | | Buy a failing shell of a company, pump up the numbers through phony accounting techniques, pollute the environment, produce unsafe products, bribe spineless politicians, move most of the profits to a Cayman's based insurance captive, then move to Florida and buy a titanic mansion that will be protected in the inevitable event of litigation. |
